Arsenal could finally end the Declan Rice transfer saga with their third formal offer if Mikel Arteta and Edu meet one crucial condition. The Gunners have seen two proposals rejected by West Ham with their latest bid totalling £90million, £75million of which would be paid up front and a further £10million available in add-ons.
Manchester City swiftly responded to the Hammers turning down that offer by sending their own official bid which also stood at £90million. However, there were some key differences to the one submitted from north London.
Firstly, the proposal was for £80million paid to be as a full fee with the remaining £10million as add-ons. As football.london understands, the exact payment structure put forward by Man City was also more favourable to West Ham and the add-ons were also deemed achievable, yet still the Hammers did not accept.
