Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are interested in signing Declan Rice from West Ham United next summer, according to 90min.
What’s the story?
90min have reported that Liverpool and City are among the clubs who are keen on securing the services of West Ham midfielder Rice next summer.
Chelsea and Manchester United are also interested in the 22-year-old, who can operate as a defender as well.
Liverpool, City, Chelsea and United all have let it be known that they are keen on the midfielder next summer and have been convinced by his performance in the middle of the park.
West Ham may not sell Declan Rice
Liverpool and City are massive clubs, and the chance to work with Klopp at Anfield or with Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium is very tempting for any footballer.
However, West Ham are a big club themselves and are also very ambitious.
The Hammers will play in the Europa League this season and will also aim for the Premier League top four.
West Ham are not under any financial pressure to sell the 22-year-old, described as “outstanding” by former Chelsea and Celtic striker Chris Sutton on Twitter last night.
Rice is unlikely to force through a move. After all, the Englishman has been at the Hammers since 2014 and appears to have a good bond with the club.
