Declan Rice is up for grabs in a three-way competition between Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United.
Following a transfer decision by Declan Rice's primary opponents, Bayern Munich, Arsenal's prospects of acquiring him this summer have been increased. The 24-year-old is a big fan of the Bundesliga champions, and manager Thomas Tuchel even called Rice to tell him why he is the ideal midfielder for their plan.
He declared: "I think it has to be [Rice's final game for West Ham]" on talkSPORT. We assured him he could leave. He made up his mind to go.
There isn't a man who has given us more commitment this season, in my opinion. He must eventually go on, and we must find a replacement—or numerous ones.
We don't want it to take place. We made him a weekly offer of £200,000 18 months ago. He declined it. He has lost out on $10 million in earnings throughout that time by remaining at West Ham. He desires to leave. A player who doesn't want to be there can't be kept.
Although they are trailing Arsenal in the fight for Rice, Bayern and Manchester United have made a crucial choice that suggests they will not be able to sign the England international.
According to German journalist Philipp Kessler, Bayern are considering Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina as a possible transfer replacement for West Ham captain Declan Rice. Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Man United are also reportedly interested. Amrabat played against Rice in the Conference League final.
Transfer strategy may be affected by Bayern's abrupt boardroom changes, which included the dismissal of director Hasan Salihamidzic and CEO Oliver Kahn shortly after their thrilling Bundesliga title win.
According to Bild's Tobi Altschaffl, Tuchel is believed to already be suffering the impacts of this because he anticipated transfers to be resolved swiftly, but talks that have already taken place regarding recruitment have merely seen ideas and profiles discussed.
While Rice is a top priority for Bayern, some hesitation on their part might provide the initiative to Arsenal in order to close the deal fast during the summer transfer window and prevent a bidding battle.
