Rice, the captain of the Hammers, wants to play for a Champions League team but his price tag is close to Ł100 million.
Declan Rice leaving West Ham this summer has been acknowledged by David Moyes for the first time.
Rice, the captain of the Hammers, has aspirations to play for a Champions League team but is estimated to cost approximately Ł100 million.
Nevertheless, it is believed that the English midfielder is attracting interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
We sincerely hope he stays, according to Moyes. Although we'd prefer for him to play for West Ham, we are conscious that may not be the case come the end of the year.
"So that's one of the planning-related scenarios. Although there are plans for Dec to be here, we are also fully aware that there is a good risk he won't be.
Although West Ham's Premier League position is still up in the air following last week's victory against Manchester United, Moyes has been unable to make arrangements for the upcoming campaign.
"The preparations have been put on hold. Making sure you're a Premier League club has always been important, the Scot continued. If you weren't, your planning would fail totally.
"Much of it won't start to fall into place until we realize we have retained our Premier League position. Although we are scouting a lot of players and watching a lot of games, our primary goal has been to remain in the Premier League.
Following a 2-1 victory over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night in the first leg of the Europa Conference League semi-final, West Ham travels to Brentford on Sunday.
With the second leg in the Netherlands in mind, Moyes is anticipated to make changes, resting Rice, Jarrod Bowen, and Michail Antonio (who had a limp during the AZ encounter).
We still have a lot of players to evaluate, and the game is in less than 24 hours, he added. "There are certainly bumps and bruises, but Michail appears to be in quite good shape.
We will evaluate him, but he ought to be fine for Sunday.
According to David Moyes, there is a "good chance." West Ham will lose Declan Rice.
