According to TA, Rice admits he is eager to play in the Champions League and has turned down a contract from West Ham. Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City are all interested in him.
Rice once told reporters: “100%, I want to participate in the Champions League.” That’s what I’ve been saying for the past two or three years. I’ve been working hard for my club and I think I really want to keep trying. Here I see my English friends playing in the Champions League and competing for important trophies. ”
“you have only one career, and at the end of your career you will want to review what you have won and the most important games you have ever played.”
Rice, 23, is the youngest captain in the Premier League and a key player for England and West Ham United. But he has not yet played in the Champions League, but has represented West Ham in the Europa League and Europa League in the past two seasons.
Rice’s contract expires in the summer of 2024 and can be renewed for another year. Rice, who turned down three contract extensions, has no intention of signing a new contract and has made it clear that he wants to win trophies and participate in the Champions League on a regular basis.
Under no circumstances will Rice be sold in January, but the club has admitted that they must sell him this summer.
West Ham values him at between 100m and 150 million pounds, which would make Rice the most valuable English footballer in history. Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United have all shown interest in the midfielder.
Chelsea are the club most interested in him, Chelsea’s interest in Rice stems from Frank Lampard, and then Tuchel is also very interested in him.
Chelsea are looking to rebuild their midfield and hope to invest heavily in 2023. Jorinho is expected to leave when his contract expires at the end of the season, while Cantor’s contract expires in the summer of 2023.
For Manchester City, the club has Jing Duoan, Rodrigo and Phillips in his position, and they are not short of people in this position. The valuation of West Ham is also likely to deter Manchester City, who are also interested in Bellingham. The deal with the 19-year-old is considered more important than signing Condoleezza Rice.
Rice has been the focus of Manchester United for years, but his price has always been considered too high. Like Manchester City, Manchester United have ample reserves in midfield, including Fred, McTomeny, Sven-Goran Eriksson and Cassemillo.
The next five months will be a defining moment in Rice’s career and the England midfielder will decide his next home.
