Chelsea are yet to make an official approach or offer for Declan Rice, a West Ham United source has told football.london. The Blues remain interested in the 23-year-old midfielder, but the Hammers are adamant he is not for sale in this window.
Intermediaries have approached West Ham in the past regarding a deal for Rice, but the answer from the east Londoners has always been that he's not for sale. The Hammers value Rice at a whopping £150million despite there being just less than two years remaining on his contract at the London Stadium.
West Ham have offered Rice a chance to extend his contract in recent times, but the midfielder is reluctant to commit his future to the Irons. Chelsea want to take advantage of this and re-sign the player they released from their academy system when he was just a teenager.
