London West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is set to leave the team in the summer transfer window, according to The Athletic.
As the source informs, the 25-year-old midfielder wants to try himself in a team that plays in the Champions League and is fighting for the championship title. In recent months, West Ham have tried several times to extend the player's contract, but Declan has made it clear that it's not about money.
The Londoners understand that Declan will most likely leave the team. London "Chelsea" is considered the main contender for the footballer. At the end of the season, N'Golo Kante and Jorginho will leave the team, with which the "aristocrats" are not going to renew their contracts. It is interesting that Rice was a player of the Blues academy, but he was expelled from it.
It should be added that Declan Rice's current contract with West Ham runs until the summer of 2024. After the end of the contract, the Hammers can activate the option to extend the contract for 12 months.
