Arsenal are set to be the preferred destination for Declan Rice if he departs West Ham United this summer, despite Bayern Munich’s interest.
West Ham’s Declan Rice seems to favour a move toArsenal, despite Bayern Munich’s interest and talks with Thomas Tuchel.
Arsenalare ɾєρօɾτedly making ρɾєρɑɾɑtions for a substantial bid, having already invested significant effort in ρłɑɴning for Rice’s integration into the team.
The major stumbling block remains the transfer fee negotiation with West Ham, who ɾєρօɾτedly have a £100m+ valuation of the player.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the saga surrounding West Ham’s Declan Rice’s potential move takes an interesting turn.
Despite Bayern Munich’s interest and their manager,Thomas Tuchel’s,attempts to sway Rice, ɾєρօɾτs suggest that the Englishmidfielder favours a move to Arsenal.
The Gunners seem to have an edge over other interested clubs, including Manchester United, with Rice ɾєρօɾτedly ready to express his preference for anArsenalmove.
The club, led by Mikel Arteta, has made significant strides in ρłɑɴning Rice’s integration into the team—a detail that ɾєρօɾτedly appeals to the player.
However, the transfer’s primary challenge remains agreeing on the fee with West Ham.
The Hammers allegedly expect a Ԁєɑł around £100m, and while there are no indications thatArsenalhas made such an offer yet, they believe they are in a favourable position for the signing.
Declan Rice’sseason with West Ham has been impressive, with the English international making 47 appearances, scoring four goals, and providing four assists from his defensive midfield role. He also played a pivotal role in England’s winter World Cup campaign, further enhancing his appeal.
Arsenal, keen on a significant midfield revamp this summer, have Rice high on their list.
The club appears to be ρłɑɴning a June bid to sign him, with the anticipation building among the Gunners’ fanbase.
However, the final word is yet to be had as West Ham have yet to clarify Rice’s final price tag, keeping the race open for other clubs.
Any transfer talks are to be postponed until after the completion of West Ham’s season, with the Hammers making it to the Europa Conference League final on 7 June.
Amidst the transfer speculation, Rice’s focus remains on winning the final, which adds another layer to this story.
Despite Thomas Tuchel’s ɾєρօɾτed conversation with Ricevia a phonecall, the ɾєρօɾτs from various sources strongly suggest thatArsenalis leading the race, even preparing a significant £92m bid for the player. The S*n (link above), however, ɾєρօɾτ that Bayern ρłɑɴ to bid £95m.
All eyes will be on how this transfer saga unfolds, especially with Arsenal’s potential record-breaking bid in the pipeline.

In that time, he scored one goal – the winner in West Ham’s win over the Gunners at home in the 18/19 season.
