8 stars who suffered the Man City transfer curse as Declan Rice looks to avoid same fate

Manchester City have pulled out of the race for Declan Rice's signature and, as a result, it looks as if the West Ham captain will be heading to Arsenal this summer.

The Gunners have made no secret of their intense interest and their third bid for the England international looks to have done the trick. Thought to be worth a British record fee of £100million plus £5m in add-ons, the Hammers are happy with the amount but do still have some concerns over the structure of the bid.

City's endless wealth is well-documented, but it is now clear that they were not willing to hit the £100m mark for Rice. This is not the first time Pep Guardiola's side have walked away from a deal the moment they deem their own valuation has been surpassed.
