# Virals: West Ham reportedly set £100m plus price tag on Declan Rice

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/09/14/virals-exwhuemployee-claims-west-ham-have-scouted-jed-wallace/) will reportedly hold out for offers in excess of £100million for star midfielder [Declan Rice](https://readwestham.com/2021/09/13/virals-declan-rice-sends-message-of-support-to-harvey-elliott/).

The 22-year-old has [been in demand](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/declan-rice-west-ham-contract-chelsea-fc-manchester-united-b943606.html) for some time as Premier League giants, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are all credited with admiration.

Irons’ boss David Moyes has previously [stated](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/03/07/declan-rice-worth-far-100m-says-david-moyes/) that Rice is worth ‘far more’ than £100million to his side – a view seemingly backed up by the east London hierarchy.

That’s according to a report from [Football London](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/chelsea-rice-tansfer-west-ham-21554128), as cited by [A Football Chat Show](https://twitter.com/FootyChatShow/status/1437710672838672387) on Twitter, claiming that West Ham will hold out for their top value.

The report also claims that neither Manchester club would be deterred by the asking price for the [26-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/declan-rice/nationalmannschaft/spieler/357662/verein_id/3299) ace, whilst Chelsea may have to sell in order to make the deal a possibility.

Last season Rice played an integral part in Moyes’ side, [scoring twice and providing one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/declan-rice/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/357662/plus/0/saison/2020/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/379) in 32 Premier League outings.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Holding a market value of £63million and under contract until 2024 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/declan-rice/marktwertverlauf/spieler/357662)), West Ham truly hold all the cards when it comes to setting their price.

In truth, only Rice [forcing the club’s hand](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/chelsea-transfer-news-declan-rice-19344046) would make a sale feasible, something that could happen were the London-born ace seek UEFA Champions League football.

Should that happen, the Irons are right to demand the maximum value in order to replace and suitably replenish the [squad](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad).
