Manchester City are interested in Declan Rice and after Arsenal are understood by football.london to have had their opening bid rejected, is there reason to be worried in north London? In short, yes, but to a degree.
This would be the case in any scenario and as Arsenal move for a higher calibre of star as their own stock rises with a return to title challenges and Champions League competition then so will the level of opposition they face for those players. Man City possess significant financial might and the guarantee of trophies and title challenges to boot, Arsenal meanwhile are selling a project under Mikel Arteta that has seen massive player improvement and the aim of winning trophies in the near future.
At Man City the presence of Rodri presents Declan Rice with a choice were he to move to the Etihad Stadium. Minutes would not be as readily available although that said when the Citizens signed Jack Grealish for an English record fee, he too had to be patient for regular game time but it did eventually come.
