West Ham Reject City’s £90m Bid For Rice
West Ham have rejected a bid of £90m from Treble winners Manchester City for captain Declan Rice.
City’s offer was thought to have included an £80m initial payment but is short of the £100m the Hammers want.
Arsenal are expected to make a third bid for the 24-year-old England midfielder.
The Gunners’ second proposal of an initial £75m in four payments, plus £15m in add-ons, was turned down by West Ham last week.

RB Leipzig Want 100m euros For Gvardiol
Also, Manchester City are working to sign RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol – but the German club want at least 100m euros (£85.77m) for the Croatia defender.
City boss Pep Guardiola is a big admirer of the 21-year-old centre-back, who starred at the World Cup last year.
BBC Sport has been told contact has been made between City and Gvardiol’s camp.
Gvardiol has a release clause in excess of 110m euros (£94.35m), which can be triggered next summer.
According to BBC Sports, this means Leipzig are not willing to let him leave 12 months early for a significantly smaller amount.
