It has now been claimed that Declan Rice would be interested in a transfer to Manchester City this summer.
This comes from Fabrizio Romano after it was reported that the treble-winners were set to submit a formal offer to sign him on Thursday.
Now, it seems like Declan Rice, who has been linked with a transfer to Arsenal for the past couple of months could be open to joining Manchester City.
Fabrizio Romano: Declan Rice would be open to Manchester City transfer
Branded as ‘special’ in a feature about him by The Athletic, the 24-year-old played his final game for West Ham by leading his side to a Europa Conference League triumph against Fiorentina.
Interestingly, it was previously reported that Pep Guardiola’s men would only pursue his signature if Ilkay Gundogan left, who is now on his way to sign for Barcelona.
Now, it has been speculated that Declan Rice would be open to any transfer, whether it is Manchester City or Arsenal.
The Sky Blues are aware of this as they have enquired with the player’s side to be cognizant of his desire about his next move.
As a result, City have decided to launch a bid for the player soon, with Arsenal expected to do the same as well.
Declan Rice could unearth his world-class potential under Pep Guardiola
Declan Rice has all the talent in the world to be considered a world-class midfielder and if he does join Manchester City, Pep Guardiola could turn him into the most complete version of himself.
As seen in the cases of John Stones, Raheem Sterling and Kyle Walker in the past, all these players reached unforeseen levels under the Catalan’s keen eye.
Often, as was in Jack Grealish’s case, it takes a full season for a player to get to grips with the decorated manager’s ways.
But once the new signing settles in at the Etihad Stadium, they hit heights on an individual level that not a single soul could have predicted.
