Manchester United have reportedly joined the competition with Arsenal to sign Declan Rice, as reported by Daily Mail. A number of top English teams are said to be interested in the 24-year-old. A bidding battle for his services is possible during the forthcoming transfer window. Before the 2013 season began, Rice enrolled in West Ham United’s youth programme. He’s worked his way through the ranks to become a key member of the Hammers’ roster. His stint with the club, though, seems to be coming to an end.
The 24-year-old is expected to leave for a more prestigious club this summer. Next year, Rice would want to play in the Champions League. He has a number of suitors who are prepared to go to great lengths to get his services. West Ham is eager to cash in on him despite the fact that he still has over a year remaining on his contract. For a sum of more than £100 million, they are prepared to let him go. On the other hand, they’re anticipating a bidding battle since that’s how they’ll get the greatest deal.
Manchester United are likely to compete with Arsenal for the services of West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice
The Gunners have had their eye on the 24-year-old for some time and are likely to make a move for him this summer. Arteta wants to add depth to his midfield so he can make another run at the Premier League championship next year. The Gunners are confidently preparing a £90 million offer for the England international, putting them in a commanding position. However, the bid falls short of what West Ham United is expecting. The club has said that they would not talk for less than £100 million.

While all was going on, Manchester United decided to join the fray. Erik ten Hag wants to add depth to his midfield and sees Rice, 24, as a player who might assist him in his quest for the league crown next season. Thus the Red Devils are interested in signing him.
In the middle of the pitch, he and Casemiro might be unstoppable. Rice has all the characteristics necessary to integrate into Ten Hag’s system. He may be the puzzle’s missing piece. It will be exciting to watch who signs him for the next football season between Manchester United and Arsenal.
Liverpool has already made contact with Goncalo Inacio
A report from Portuguese outlet A Bola (via Sport Witness) claims Liverpool has already made contact with the player’s agency about a summer transfer. Sporting CP has allegedly rejected offers in the range of €30 million for the highly regarded Portuguese central defender. However, they are now willing to consider other “solutions” to reach their €45 million valuation, which is good news for the Reds in their pursuit of a transfer.
Inacio’s development over the last several years has been remarkable. He is now a crucial component in Sporting’s defence and one of Europe’s greatest young central defenders. The 21-year-old has been in outstanding form this season, attracting attention from top teams. He has played in 51 games across all competitions and has contributed to six goals. In March, as a result of his stellar play, he was given his first start for Portugal.
