West Ham will demand a £150m for Declan Rice this summer, according to Ian Ladyman in the Daily Mail.
The Hammer have clung onto the midfielder for a few windows now despite major demand, but the looming finish to his contract means the club have accepted they have to cash in this summer.
They are hoping for a British transfer record fee for the box to box monster, who was in the Chelsea academy before being released and moving to West Ham.
Chelsea have long seemed like his most likely destination, but the uncertainty at the club could hamstring them at the vital moment after years of hovering.
Despite their long pursuit, the Blues might find themselves plumping for a cheaper option – but it all depends on who is in charge of the club in a month’s time.
It’s yet another reason to sort the ownership situation out as quickly as possible.
Rubbish. He has 3 years left on his contract
Yet another nothing pointless article. Think times have changed.
By the way, West Ham have said no such thing, Where did the story cone from ? Rightio. Think i will move on. You keep straw clutching. Have been for three years. Dear oh how sad oh dear.
