Report: Chelsea would have to offer at least £65 million to land West Ham United’s Declan Rice

According to The Guardian, West Ham United could be forced to sell academy graduate Declan Rice this summer with Chelsea very keen on him. However, the Blues will have to offer at least £65 million to have a chance of landing the 21-year-old. The Hammers are looking to bolster their squad this summer, but the coronavirus pandemic has dealt a massive blow on their finances, and they could be tempted to sell their biggest asset at the right price. Chelsea are open to a swap deal involving Ross Barkley and Michy Batshuayi for Rice’s signature, but West Ham will reject the attempt.
