Even if West Ham win the Europa League, it might be the right time for Declan Rice to move on.
The Hammers value their captain at £150 million. Wow - is Rice really one of the top three most expensive players in history, along with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe? For a No.6 holding midfielder, that's a colossal amount of money. Normally it's strikers who would fetch that kind of astronomical sum.
But Rice's value to West Ham cannot be overstated after they reached their first European semi-final in 46 years with that superb performance in Lyon. First and foremost, it's a phenomenal achievement for the club to reach the last four of a major competition in Europe just two years after they were dicing with relegation.
