West Ham make unprecedented Declan Rice contract offer amid Chelsea, Man Utd interest

Declan Rice, Tottenham v West Ham March 2022

West Ham have offered Declan Rice the chance to stay at the London Stadium on an astonishing eight-year contract, according to a report.

The influential midfielder has rejected three contract offers from West Ham in the past 12 months. This has given clubs such as Chelsea and Manchester United hope of capturing him in the summer.

David Moyes has repeatedly put Rice’s price tag at well over £100million, and more recently at over £150m. This shows just how valuable he is to the east London side.

“This eight-year deal could become a ten-year deal, if Declan and his people wanted such a deal worth £200,000-a-week.

“So would they sell? There is a belief in Declan Rice’s camp that he could get between £300,000-£400,000-a-week elsewhere. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen.

“The magic figure may be…
