JAKARTA - West Ham United doesn't seem to be able to reap much profit from Declan Rice. The reason is, they probably can't sell the player to the highest bidder.

This is related to the player's decision to make a choice. Rice has set a heart to move to Arsenal.

The move led West Ham to open up an offer space for Chelsea, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich to likely be canceled.

West Ham's manager's plan, David Moyes, to strike an agreement with Chelsea could also be canceled. In fact, he wanted to involve Conor Gallagher as part of Rice's exchange.

But Rice has confirmed he is not interested in returning to the club that let him go when he was 14 years old.

Meanwhile, Bundesliga's giant club, Bayern Munich, has stopped their pursuit of the 24-year-old British star. The policy was taken after being told Rice wanted to stay in the English Premier League.

It has paved the way for Arsenal to complete signing their priority this summer and negotiations with West Ham are now in advanced stages.

The Gunners want to pay the club record 90 million for Rice. While the Hammers appreciated it for 110 million.

It is hoped that both clubs will approve 100 million in negotiations, with an additional potential of 10 million in bonus and extra payments.

There has been no official offer made by Arsenal yet. They prefer to keep secret talks with West Ham until the costs and terms of payment are agreed upon and are confident that they will secure the player's signature in the next few weeks.
