Declan Rice, a standout for West Ham United, has apparently spoken with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, although a transfer this summer seems doubtful.
Rice is scheduled to play for West Ham tomorrow night, potentially for the last time.
In the UEFA Conference League final versus Fiorentina, he will lead his team out.
Rice will be in the limelight since it is commonly believed that the England international will switch clubs this summer.
Bayern Munich has recently been closely associated with the player.
Of course, they can provide Champions League football, and they frequently win the Bundesliga. So Rice could find such action appealing.
However, many envisage him remaining in England, where he is one of the finest players in the world.
Almost all of the top teams have mentioned Rice in connection with them.
Arsenal has likely expressed the most interest recently, and the Gunners may swoop. The Gunners have the advantage to recruit Rice since they are preparing to unload Granit Xhaka, according to the Guardian. Football from the Champions League can now be offered.
About City, The Guardian has a queue. They claim that Guardiola has really spoken with Rice, who is valued at £100 million.
The club, however, is later quoted as saying that Rodri would not be replaced.
With City, Rodri has had an incredible season and is perhaps the finest player in the world at his position.
He has seen a lot of action under Guardiola, and on Saturday he will make his 56th season appearance.
Declan Rice would be a fantastic acquisition for Man City, but he is not required.
Rice obviously has Pep’s adoration. He has already given him public accolades, and now there is an allegation that he has talked with him.
Unfortunately, City just does not need the player.
Pep adores Rodri because he is the finest player in the world at his position.
A player of Rice’s calibre just cannot sit on the bench. He is a starter who could join any team in the globe.
The contract of Ilkay Gundogan may yet be extended by City. And of course there is Kalvin Phillips, who hasn’t got a legitimate opportunity at the Etihad yet. Recently, it was proposed that Rice’s intended relocation to City would be delayed as a result of Phillips’ difficulties.
If Phillips and Gundogan both leave this summer, City may be in need of Rice, who might be able to fill the number 8 position.
