Bayern Munich have pulled out of the race to sign Declan Rice as Arsenal are 'on the verge' of completing a transfer for the West Ham United captain.
That is according to German transfer guru Florian Plettenberg, who has claimed that Bayern decided on Tuesday not to submit an offer for the England international. Writing on Twitter, Plettenberg said: "News #Rice: NO transfer! Bayern has decided today not to submit an offer after all - confirmed.
"It was the clear trend for days and as reported on Friday, because Rice became more and more expensive. He’s on verge to join @Arsenal now! First call BILD. @SkySportDE."
