Declan Rice prefers a move to Chelsea, rather than a transfer to Manchester United. This, despite the uncertainty that has gripped the London blues after the departure of Roman Abramovich from the Stamford Bridge presidency.
West Ham, which is the current club where the midfielder is active, still insists that the player of the English representative is not for sale. To avoid the interest of rival teams, the club's executives have set a price of milionë 150 million for anyone seeking his services. Rice meanwhile has never directly expressed a desire to leave the club, despite media allusions. However, he has been in the spotlight of many clubs, including Manchester United.
The approach of Declan Rice is important for the "Red Devils", considering that Paul Pogba will most likely leave at the end of the season. The Frenchman's role in midfield is quite important to Ralf Rangnick's confidants, and Pogba's replacement should be a player of the same caliber.
Meanwhile, recent reports in England suggest Rice would prefer a move to Chelsea if he left West Ham. But this would be a complicated operation considering the recent problems of the blues.
Following the sanctions imposed on the Londoners, the club can no longer buy new players. This is expected to continue until the team is sold to the new owners. But even after this step the situation will be turbulent, as no one can speak with certainty about the vision that Chelsea executives will have for the future. The club can operate on a limited income, which would make it quite difficult to secure funding for the card of a player like Rice.
