Tuchel given green light to try and get Chelsea deal done
Chelsea have been told that long-term target Declan Rice will reject the latest offer from West Ham.
Rice is a player that has been in the headlines alot over the past few months as there has been alot of speculation about whether or not he will be leaving the Hammers in order to join a big club
That has led to constant suggestions in the media that we are very much interested in a potential deal for the midfielder – even though he would cost well over £100 million in the transfer window.
However, West Ham do not want to let their biggest star leave the club and have reportedly offered Rice a ten-year deal that is worth close to £200,000-a-week – making him the highest paid player at the club.
But it seems that his decision is already made and it seems that he wants to leave the club – if you believe what SunSports Duncan Wright has claimed: “The 23-year-old is one of the hottest properties in European football and admits he may have to quit the London Stadium to play the top-level football he craves.
“And though The Hammers have now come up with four improved offers in an attempt to tie him down the midfielder is standing firm by rejecting every approach.
“Central to his thinking is not wanting to box himself into a similar position to England teammate Harry Kane, who saw his dream move to Manchester City blocked because Tottenham had him locked into a long-term deal”
