# Football fans debate Declan Rice’s ‘£100m’ price tag

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/02/24/west-ham-keeping-tabs-on-connor-goldson/) midfielder [Declan Rice](https://readwestham.com/2021/02/24/jim-white-claims-west-ham-value-declan-rice-at-100m/)has been the topic of discussion on [social media](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1364319873535512582) after [talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/radioplayer/live/index.html?interstitial=true) presenters Jim White and Simon Jordan discussed the valuation of the 22-year-old.

Whilst pondering what the summer could have in store were club’s to approach the Irons for Rice, [Jordan suggested](https://talksport.com/football/838905/declan-rice-transfer-chelsea-manchester-united-west-ham/) that offers of around ”£80million, £90m” could be forthcoming.

White added: ”\[West Ham part-owner David\] Sullivan has already told me it’s got to be north of £100m or they won’t entertain it.”

The club are under no immediate pressure to sell Rice, who is under contract at the London Stadium [until 2024](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/declan-rice/leistungsdaten/spieler/357662). However, interest is almost inevitable in a player who continues to [flourish at Premier League level](https://www.sofascore.com/player/declan-rice/856714) and whose [potential knows no bounds](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/11813849/how-good-is-declan-rice-why-the-west-ham-man-is-a-rare-talent).

Football fans have been adding their thoughts to the debate on Rice’s worth whilst the Hammers faithful make their own case…
