West Ham owner David Sullivan has revealed that Declan Rice turned down a new deal 18 months ago, passing up on the opportunity to earn £200,000 per week with the Hammers.
Rice lifted the Europa Conference League title following a 2-1 win over Fiorentina in Prague on Wednesday night. He is now expected to leave the club, with the 24-year-old having two years left on his contract this summer, as his departure was confirmed by owner David Sullivan following the historic win.
Offers in excess of £100million are expected to be required to release the England international from his current deal. Arsenal are believed to be the front-runners to sign the player, with Man United also thought to hold a firm interest.
