Bayern Munich are eyeing a big move for in-demand Arsenal, and Liverpool target Declan Rice and readying a £95 million package.
According to Daily Mirror, Bayern Munich are preparing a £95 million package to tempt Declan Rice. The Bavarians have entered the race for the midfielder, who has reportedly spoken to Thomas Tuchel and may show some interest.
The Declan Rice story got a little bit more interesting. With a host of Premier League clubs angling for a move for the English international, Bayern Munich have joined the race for the West Ham star. David Moyes has conceded there is no chance to keep the England star beyond the summer, as the London club expect big money offers.
While West Ham have repeatedly demanded over £120 million, many sources suggest £100 million or proposals with a slightly lower valuation could suffice. Arsenal are the clear favorite and are ready to step up their chase once West Ham’s UEFA Europa Conference League final concludes.
Liverpool are also interested but remain outsiders in the chase as things stand. They may face a constraint with the price tag for the in-demand target but may focus on other priorities like Alexis Mac Allister first and then move on to sign a new defensive midfielder.

His contract is NOT running out 2024. It’s valid until 2025 because West Ham has an option for one more year.

There are numerous suggestions that Rice is keen on joining Arsenal in the summer. But there is no deal in place yet. Mikel Arteta considers the West Ham star his priority signing this summer, with the Gunners ownership ready to back him in the quest.
Sky Sports’ German reporter Florian Plettenberg began the story in Bavaria, insisting Bayern Munich are keen on Rice. Daily Mirror has since picked up the story and suggests that Thomas Tuchel has already talked with the midfielEder about the move.
The report suggests Bayern are readying a £95 million package for the midfielder and hope to convince West Ham. They are looking for a new midfielder in the close season, but there are questions about whether they could tempt Rice into joining them.
The story briefly mentions Rice might show an interest in the proposal, but that’s quite natural when a club of Bayern’s stature comes along. However, Rice might prefer to stay and continue his career in England, where he’s one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

While he is leaning towards joining Arsenal, a deal is nowhere close to being agreed. Things could start moving when the transfer window officially opens on June 14, and the Gunners will remain at the forefront for the In-demand target. Bayern will certainly try, but they may not stand a chance to convince the midfielder to move away from England.
