West Ham reject Man City's £90m initial offer for Rice

Manchester City made an opening bid for the England international but West Ham have turned it down. The Sky Blues are looking to strengthen their midfield following Ilkay Gundogan's departure.

Nonetheless, they will have to improve their offer if they want to secure Declan Rice's services. The Etihad Stadium outfit have offered £90 million for his transfer, according to 'The Telegraph'.

The Hammers want to sell their skipper for £100 million and are reluctant to receive less for their star player. As a result, City have 48 hours to submit a second bid.

Meanwhile, Arsenal and Manchester United are still interested in signing the midfielder in the summer. Mikel Arteta's side are in pole position and are set to make an improved third bid for the 24-year-old.
