West Ham United would reportedly face financial ruin if they were to give Declan Rice the kind of money that would most likely be on offer to him with a transfer to Manchester United.
This is according to a report from ESPN, who analyse Rice’s situation going into the summer, with Man Utd looking in a good position to try to get a deal done.
ESPN suggest that the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are unlikely to be in the running for Rice this year, which could give the Red Devils the edge in the race for the England international.
Still, there are issues there, with United not the force they once were, so it remains to be seen if Rice could be tempted by a move to Old Trafford right now.
In terms of money, however, the 23-year-old could supposedly triple or even quadruple his wages if he joins MUFC, which isn’t really an option for West Ham.
The report states this could ruin the Hammers financially, meaning they could soon be under pressure to sell if they cannot reach an agreement over a new contract for their star player.
Are you serious ? How much are Manure in debt ? Buying Rice 150 MILL PLUS and paying his wages would more likely see manure in financial ruin. With their debt heading that way ? This article beggars belief, but once agaun slanted in favour of the team in decline with glory days gone. Good for a laugh though.
Agreed… Utter nonsense…
Been reading a few of these today…
Rice has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford
Linked by err…….Manchester United and the dullards of the Press who haven’t caught up with the fact Manure haven’t won the Prem for 10 years & at best will be offering Europa League football next season.
So they’ll be signing a player who wants Champions League urgently.
Yeah, of course they will.
Or maybe the unproven Ten Hag is the draw?
Lazy, biased reporting. Oh dear oh dear oh dear
Financial Ruin?? Lol, you joirnos of the fraud 6 are funny.
What a very strange thing to suggest. First why would Rice go to Man Utd in their present state? Why would West Ham sell to a competitor for European places (isn’t that what Man Utd said about Lingard going the other way). West Ham have new investment and can actually compete with Man Utd financially. So none of what is written makes any sense whatsoever, just silly Manchester specualtion.
