Details have emerged surrounding Declan Rice’s rejected contract proposal, with an Express exclusive breaking down why West Ham’s offer was turned down.
The 19-year old Ireland international has reportedly rejected two offers of a new deal from the Hammers, the last of which was worth up to £15,000-a-week, up from his current deal of £3,000-a-week.
While Rice doesn’t want to leave the London Stadium, he wants more of an increase to his wages. According to the Express, Rice is demanding £30,000-a-week for the first three years of a six-year contract, rising to £35,000 for the final three years.
On those wages, Rice would still be on only half of what some of his team-mates are earning, with new signings Fabian Balbuena and Issa Diop said to be earning more.
