Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice is reportedly a target for Paris Saint-Germain heading into the summer transfer window.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Paris Saint-Germain have submitted an offer of around €135 million to get the deal done for Declan Rice at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal are willing to accept the offer in the summer.
The midfielder is valued at €160 million, and he is a key player for the club. Arsenal are unlikely to sanction his departure any time soon. Rice has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the league, and he could be an exceptional acquisition for any club.
PSG need more defensive steel and quality in the middle of the park, and it is no surprise that they are keen on the England International. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few months.
Rice might not force an exit
It is fair to assume that Declan Rice is unlikely to force an exit from the North London club. The English international is clearly enjoying his time at Arsenal, and he will want to win major trophies with them. Arsenal have been fighting for the league title in the last three seasons and they have an ambitious project.
They have a talented squad and a quality manager as well. Rice will want to continue with them and guide them to major trophies in the coming season. While there is no doubt that PSG are a big club, the move to France is unlikely to appeal to him at this stage of his career.
It will be interesting to see if PSG try and tempt the player with a lucrative contract proposal. The Ligue 1 champions are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they have the finances to tempt the English club and the player.
However, Arsenal must hold on to their best players if they want to fight for major trophies. They cannot afford to sell their best players if they are serious about fighting for the league title and the UEFA Champions League.
