Manchester City has delivered Arsenal another blow, with the Premier League champions apparently entering the trade race for Declan Rice.
According to The Athletic, City, who defeated Arsenal to win the Premier League title in 2022-23, is ready to show its hand.
Pep Guardiola is seeking for another alternative for his engine room as Ilkay Gundogan prepares to depart Manchester as a free agent, and an approach from the Etihad Stadium might be made within the next 24 hours.
Arsenal has been approaching West Ham’s assessment of their club captain, although a nine-figure payment is expected to be exchanged.
Rice is under contract with the Hammers until 2024, with the possibility of a 12-month extension beyond that, but he wants to test himself on the Champions League stage after making over 240 appearances for the club.
City won a historic Treble in 2022-23, adding the Champions League and FA Cup to their Premier League triumph, but they want to improve even more.
