Arsenal handed Declan Rice transfer boost following Bayern Munich meeting amid Mason Mount message
The competition to secure the services of Declan Rice, a midfielder from West Ham, is intensifying as he approaches what could be his last match with the Hammers. As the captain of the team, he is expected to lead them in the Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina in the upcoming week.
Following this match, the interest in signing Rice is expected to increase significantly, as he has only one year left on his contract with West Ham.
According to information from football.london, Arsenal considers Rice a top priority for the summer transfer window, as their manager Mikel Arteta aims to strengthen the midfield options of the team.
However, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga champions, have also expressed their interest in signing Declan Rice, creating a considerable amount of competition in the race for his signature.
While some sources have suggested that Arsenal is leading the pack in pursuing Rice, Thomas Tuchel, the manager of Chelsea, has been actively trying to alter that perception and position Chelsea as serious contenders for the midfielder.
Sky Germany reports indicate that Bayern Munich has had a meeting with Declan Rice regarding a potential transfer, and the outcome of the meeting is said to be positive from Bayern’s perspective. While this development may have opened the door for a potential move, it still provides a boost to Arsenal’s chances in signing Rice.
According to Fabrizio Romano, a reliable source in transfer news, the race for Rice is still wide open, suggesting that the midfielder has not been swayed in either direction and Arsenal remains a strong contender. It’s worth noting that Rice’s close friend, Mason Mount, has also been linked with a possible departure from Chelsea, indicating potential movement for both players.
While Arsenal is among the clubs linked with Declan Rice, recent reports suggest that Manchester United has reached an agreement on personal terms with the midfielder. There are even indications that Rice sent a message to a Manchester United player on social media following this news. However, the final outcome of the transfer saga is still uncertain.
For now, Arsenal will have to be patient and wait for the conclusion of the European finals before any significant developments can take place. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, and whether Arsenal’s interest in Rice will come to fruition or if he will ultimately join another club.
