Declan Rice was and is at the top of FC Bayern’s wish list. The West Ham United England international is set to become the much-needed new vacuum cleaner in front of the defence. The crux of the matter is the fee, which Munich could possibly push decisively if they embark on a spectacular swap deal.
At the moment, only those involved know exactly how the negotiations between FC Bayern, Declan Rice and his club West Ham United are. It is documented that Munich have already spoken to the English international and the “Hammers”. It is also known that West Ham has so far called for a fee that is still too high for the German record champions. We are talking about a three-digit million range.
In order to make this transfer a little more bearable, the Bayern bosses could embark on an interesting deal. At least that’s what the “Daily Mail” writes. According to this, the record champions could involve one or more of their players in the deal and offer them as a barter in addition to a fee.
It is not known which players could be eligible. However, West Ham is looking for reinforcements in several positions. Among other things, in the striker, the central defense and on the right-back position. FC Bayern would certainly have one or the other candidate in its ranks who could fulfill the “Hammers” profile and thus switch to London in return for Rice.
Declan Rice irritated by the earthquake at Bayern
A Rice move to the Isar is still a dream of the future. And that could remain the case in the near future, because as “Sport Bild” reports, the big Bayern earthquake in the last few days was not necessarily conducive to the transfer. The Englishman was “irritated” by the events in Munich, writes the newspaper. Rice longs for “reliability,” it says.
In addition, the first contact with FC Bayern was via Hasan Salihamidzic. It is known that he is no longer in office. Who will lead the negotiations instead of the Bosnian is still completely open.
At the same time, the record champions can only lose a little time with a player like Declan Rice, after all, the 24-year-old is also on the wish list of other, even more solvent clubs.
