‘Would love this’ – Many Fans reacts as Man City ‘leading the race’ for in-demand PL Star

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club is leading the race to sign in-demand West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice.

Rice is regarded among the best midfielders in the country, with his performances for both West Ham and England having been consistently superb for some time now.

The 22-year-old, whose deal runs out in 2024, was heavily linked with a move away from West Ham during the recently concluded transfer window, but is still at the club.

Earlier last month the Guardian reported that the defending premier league champions were ‘monitoring’ Declan Rice’s future.

Rice is also admired by a number of the biggest clubs in the country, including Chelsea and Manchester United, both of whom were reported to be interested in him during the summer.

According to 90Min, Man City are ‘continuing to lead the pursuit’ of the West Ham midfielder, having been ‘long admirers’ of the England International.

The report states that that Declan Rice is prepared to leave the London Stadium, even if West Ham manage to qualify for the Champions League.

At just 22, it’s clear to see why a number of teams are after the England international. A potential departure for Fernandinho could subsequently become a reason why Manchester City want Rice.

The Cityzens have been linked with a number of midfielders this summer, and with Fernandinho looking like leaving the Etihad at the end of the season, they do need reinforcements in that area.

if he is to be bought, he certainly won’t be cheap, as manager David Moyes recently said that £100 million wouldn’t be enough to get him to leave West Ham.

In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Xtra, many Man City fans have have been expressing their thoughts and opinions.

Why though? So expensive and he won’t start over Rodri for us, unless Pep has a grand plan I can’t see it
