Manchester City is probably trying for Declan Rice

England's champion Manchester City is flirting with a commitment from Declan Rice. The midfielder of the Premier League rival West Ham United can switch from London to the Citizens in summer, writes the Telegraph.

However, a possible transfer of the 23 -year -old is likely to be a costly matter - there is talk of a transfer beyond 100 million.

Because Rice is still under contract with West Ham until 2024. The Londoners also have the option to extend the contract by another season. In view of this starting point at SKY Sports, Hammers coach David Moyes recently made it clear that 100 million pounds were "cheap" for the coveted EM finalist last summer: "150 million pounds would now be the minimum-but it is unsalable."

However, the question is also what Rice wants. The own plant has now rejected several offers for early contract extension and, according to Telegraph, he absolutely wants to appear in the Champions League. He could do that with West Ham, should the semi -final opponent of RB Leipzig win the Europa League.

With a view to the rejected offers of his protégé, Moyes said: "Maybe he just wants to make more money."

West Ham United wants to fight for Rice remaining

Rice could certainly do that at Mancity. And there are other interested parties: City's city rivals Manchester United has been associated with Rice for some time and, according to information from Declan Rice , and goal was also at FC Chelsea before the sanctions for club owners Roman Abramovich about a commitment to the coming season.

In any case, David Moyes wants to fight for his star. He compared the situation to that Harry Kanes. The Tottenham star was courted by City a year ago. However, a transfer failed because the Spurs did not move away from their high transfer: "They said: 'No, there is a price, and if someone wants to pay the price, we would probably do it. If they don't do it, then he doesn't go anywhere. ' That's it, you kept it. "
