Chelsea want to continue blowing up the market and are determined to secure the services of Declan Rice. However, West Ham are not giving in and want to get at least 80 million euros for the player.

Despite Chelsea paying a large amount of money to strengthen their squad for this recently started 2020-21 season, the Blues continue to have unfinished business in the market.

The Stamford Bridge side want to continue enhancing their young and exciting project and one of the names linked with the Londoners for a long time is Declan Rice.

Frank Lampard's coaching team like the West Ham player a lot, but the financial demands of the Hammers seemed to have ended the Blues' interest. Nothing further from reality.

According to 'The Sun', Roman Abramovich's side are still more than interested in securing the services of Rice and would be looking for a way to approach the deal at a financial level.

It's worth remembering that Declan, at 21, is also on the agenda of teams such as Manchester United, something that West Ham are making the most of to try to get a sum close to 80 million euros for their star.
