# West Ham: Hammers prepared to sell Declan Rice

**[According to Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-west-ham-selling-declan-rice-for-90m-as-bid-for-replacement-lined-up/), West Ham United and GSB are prepared to sell Declan Rice for a fee of £90m as they line up a bid for his replacement.**

### **The Lowdown: Rice in demand**

After becoming one of West Ham’s star performers and playing a key role in England’s run to the Euro 2020 final, Rice is a player in demand.

Both Manchester United ([ESPN](https://www.espn.in/football/soccer-transfers/story/4427075/manchester-united-monitoring-eduardo-camavinga-player-open-to-premier-league-move-sources)) and Chelsea ([The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15818119/chelsea-transfer-lukaku-kounde-rice/)) were linked with his services during the summer, but the 22-year-old stayed put at the London Stadium.

### **The Latest: Hammers open to Rice sale**

As per this latest report, the Hammers are contemplating the possibility of selling the midfielder.

A West Ham source has told Football Insider that GSB would sell Rice for £90m and are already looking at potential replacements.

### **The Verdict: Sell at the right time**

Rice has become a superstar with the Hammers over the past few years. Despite his young age, he has made 152 appearances for the club ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/declan-rice/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/357662)), and he has been vital to the rise up the Premier League table.

Unfortunately for the London outfit, he has [turned down their approaches in regards to a new contract](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-west-ham-selling-declan-rice-for-90m-as-bid-for-replacement-lined-up/), indicating he is looking to make the next step in his career eventually.

\[freshpress-poll id=”375156″\]

As it stands though, he has [two years left](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/declan-rice/profil/spieler/357662) on his contract, and the Irons have an option to extend his deal for an extra 12 months. Currently valued at [£63m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/declan-rice/marktwertverlauf/spieler/357662) by Transfermarkt, his potential future transfer must be timed to perfection – wait too long and the Irons could lose out on a massive deal if he does not extend his terms.

As they long as they can replace with him with a quality alternative, losing Rice for a huge fee in the near future may not be quite the gut punch it would feel like for the fans.
