Arsenal ‘shocked’, ‘£100m man’ move imminent… with claims to the contrary

Shocking news for Arsenal.

German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are close to signing West Ham captain Declan Rice, it has been claimed. Britain’s Metro reported the news on 4 April (BST), citing Jose Felix Diaz of Spain’s Marca.

Britain’s The Times also reported that Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel recently spoke to Rice by phone. Tuchel, a former Chelsea boss, reportedly tried to persuade Rice that he would be the perfect holding midfielder if he moved to Bayern Munich.메이저놀이터

Bayern Munich are reportedly willing to pay a club-record £85m for Rice. West Ham’s season is far from over. The Hammers are in the Europa League final and face Fiorentina (Italy) for the title on 8 August.

Rice is expected to leave the club this summer. Arsenal have long been linked with a move for Rice. Mikel Arteta has the player in mind as his ‘number one’ target.

However, there have been reports to the contrary. According to England’s Daily Mail, Rice is preparing to reject Bayern Munich’s offer as he prefers a move within the English Premier League (EPL).

West Ham are demanding £100 million for Rice. Arsenal are planning to spend a club-record £90m on Rice’s signature.

Rice’s future is expected to be outlined after the Conference League final.
