True, Manchester City have no eager need of Declan Rice like Arsenal do based on the availability and form of Rodri in the defensive midfield. Arsenal keen interest on West Ham £100m Declan Rice explains how serious and ready the gunners are for the next season as their highest last signing amount was £75m Pepe from Lille. But then in my very opinion this is coming some how late, cause if such amount was spent last summer on the needed players then Arsenal would have been able to secure the EPL title last season.
Now they also have Kovacic to complicate their midfield for Manchester City as indeed it looks like they are avoiding a 100m move for Rice a bit as it looks like West Ham are still not budging either.
With the conditions in their squad that are still a little better at the moment, there really is no reason for Manchester City to impose their will by pouring big money for Rice.
Now Manchester City is officially out of the race and only Arsenal are left, who still don't seem to want to give up. The previous offer of 90 million was still not eyed by West ham. Now it's just a matter of waiting whether Arsenal will also give up or will continue to force West Ham but indeed if you look at the conditions I think sooner or later it will be West ham who will give up on Rice because if a big offer is rejected again then they will lose Rice very miserably next season.
