In the 2023 transfer window, Manchester City had reportedly made a £80 million bid, along with £10 million in add-ons, to sign West Ham United captain Declan Rice, aiming to outmaneuver Arsenal in the pursuit. This comes after Arsenal’s rejected £90 million proposal. Rice’s contract with West Ham expires in 2024, and it appears likely that he has played his final game for the club, given his expressed desire to leave.
