Declan Rice has been linked with a summer move away from West Ham United, with Arsenal and Bayern Munich keen on signing him.
Declan Rice has been a key player for the Hammers, and Arsenal are hoping to sign him in the summer transfer window. According to Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich have now joined the race to sign the England international during the summer transfer window. And West Ham United want £70 million to part ways with him.
Bayern Munich need to add more quality to their midfield, and the 24-year-old would be a superb acquisition. Meanwhile, recent reports have linked Joshua Kimmich with a summer departure, although those claims might be unfounded. Rice is thus a viable target for Die Roten.
Rice has established himself as one of the most reliable midfield performers in the Premier League, and he has the ability to play for the biggest clubs in the world. The midfielder reportedly wants to join a club in the Champions League, and Bayern Munich can certainly provide him with the platform to showcase his qualities in Europe’s elite competition.
The German giants are one of the biggest clubs in the world. And the opportunity to play for them will be an attractive option for the midfielder. He has been linked with Premier League giants Arsenal as well. It will be interesting to see if the 24-year-old is keen on continuing in London beyond this season.

Arsenal need a quality midfield partner for Thomas Partey, and Rice would be the ideal fit for them. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel will know all about the midfielder having watched him up close during his time in the Premier League.
A move to the German club could help Rice improve as a player and develop into a world-class midfielder. Tuchel needs to bring in more quality and depth in the middle of the park. Rice could partner with the likes of Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka next season. And a price tag of £70 million makes him value for money.
There have been rumours that the West Ham United midfielder could cost a premium this summer, and it remains to be seen whether the German club are prepared to spend that kind of money on him. Rice will be out of contract in the summer of 2024, and Bayern Munich will be hoping to sign him for a more reasonable price at the end of the season.
