They said Arsenal would sign him, Declan Rice's betrayal to the Gunners

Arsenal FC is one of the most active teams in the current transfer market. The Gunners have set themselves up for next season as they return to the UEFA Champions League and want to compete in both the Premier League and Europe. To that end, the club is looking for major reinforcements ahead of the transfer window, but now, after being very close to finalizing the arrival of a player, it has received the worst news of all.

Declan Rice is one of the great talents of English soccer. The West Ham midfielder is a pillar in his club and also has important participation in the English National Team, but now, he is willing to make a change in his career and look for a new challenge in another club. According to Daily Mail, Arsenal is the team most favored to take the player. However, unexpectedly, Manchester City are meddling in the transfer.

According to Disco Mirror, Manchester City want to redo a similar operation to that of Jack Grealish and that is to shell out an amount close to 100 million euros, so that West Ham will have no hesitation in releasing their captain. As for the personal terms with the player, there would be no problem as he would receive almost 200 thousand dollars a week.

Will Declan Rice join Manchester City?

According to Fabrizio Romano, Pep Guardiola's team has been in constant contact with the player and they believe that Rice is willing to agree to join the club, once the agreement between the two clubs for next season is reached. In this situation, Arsenal would receive a tremendous blow as Rice was one of their main targets in the current transfer window.
