Skynews has been reported that if city's bid already rejected by westham. Finally, arsenal has not become the only victim from westham. Manchester city shall have put more value compared to the arsenal.
Westham will not let rice go out without 100m on westham's hand. City must pay such amount to get him from westham as soon as possible.
Manchester City's £90m bid has been turned down by West Ham; Premier League champions had offered £80m up front, plus £10m in add-ons; Arsenal remain in talks with West Ham after two club-record bids were rejected; Hammers are expecting a third bid from the Gunners
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/12910259/declan-rice-manchester-citys-90m-bid-for-midfielder-rejected-by-west-hamI hope city will try to increase its bid as soon as possible. That kind of strategy won't work toward a club that was seeking huge amounts of money.
West Ham is insisting on £100m for Declan Rice shows that English players are absolutely overpriced the club wanted to cash out from his sale, Man City offered £80m with £70m instant payment yet that offer was rejected by West Ham the offer is even better than that of Arsenal who offered £75m payment in four instalments, though Arsenal is will launch their third bid any moment from now personally I think whichever club between Arsenal and Man City that eventually sign him must have had taken a gamble because he didn't worth that value beside there are quality and better midfielders whose worth is less that of Declan Rice yet can offer better or equal service on the field.
