Declan Rice transfer news: West Ham would reportedly lower their asking price from £120m to £100m if a player is offered as part of a deal




According to Sky Sports, if a player is provided in exchange, they could reduce the asking price to £100 million. Rice's desire of playing in the Champions League will not be thwarted by the Hammers, and while Chelsea won't be participating in that league next year, they are among the teams rumored to be interested.

Despite this, Arsenal is presently in the lead, with several other "big six" teams keeping a watch on the condition of the England international. Despite Chelsea's desire to add even more talent to their roster, the summer transfer market is also expected to be very active.

The squad is currently in desperate need of trimming down after a £600 million transfer spree over the last 12 months, though that could work to Chelsea's advantage in the race for Rice. Many of the players set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer will command a decent fee and therefore could tempt West Ham into selling to Chelsea.

Despite having played a more prominent role under Frank Lampard, Conor Gallagher could be a decent make way option as not only has he already proven at Crystal Palace he has plenty to offer, but he would also help West Ham reshape their midfield in Rice's absence. For that reason also, Ruben Loftus-Cheekcould be another who the Hammers would be happy to take in a potential deal.
David Moyes' side are also in desperate need of freshening up their attacking options in the summer and Christian Pulisic would represent a significant coup. While Pulisic may be keen to play Champions League football, the chance to play regularly and be the main man at a big club like West Ham could be tempting.

Inter have made the asking price clear for wingback Denzel Dumfries during the summer transfer window clear, with incoming Chelsea coach eyeing up a move for the Dutch World Cup star.

This according to Italian news outlet Repubblica.it, who report that the 27-year-old is a major target for the Argentine who is expected to take over at Stamford Bridge, and that the Nerazzurri would expect a fee of at least €40 million for his signature. Dumfries’s future at Inter has looked uncertain for some time now, with the 26-year-old former PSV man having been strongly linked as a possible sale during the summer transfer window should the Nerazzurri need to bring in cash from the market. The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have been reported to be interested, whilst Barcelona have reportedly also enquired about the Dutchman for the summer transfer window. However, in March Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Dumfries is no longer a major target for Chelsea as he had been in the past. The situation at Stamford Bridge has been in flux, however, with Graham Potter removed as head coach just a few months after taking over, replaced with Frank Lampard on an interim basis.

Journalist Simon Phillips has suggested that Chelsea fans are losing their patience with £250k-a-week star.

According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea supporters are "losing their patience" with Joao Felix, according to GIVEMESPORT. When he first joined the team, the 23-year-old appeared to be an exciting signing, but he is having trouble scoring goals. Joao Felix: Chelsea news Felix, who reportedly makes £250,000 per week at Chelsea, transferred there on loan from Atletico Madrid of Spain during the January transfer window. It's been a difficult period for the Portuguese international, with the Blues not playing a system which suits the role he's predominantly played in his career.

Despite his difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge, it appears that both Felix and Chelsea want to continue together beyond this season. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed this news but has st...
