Following the missing out on Erlin Haaland, United could miss out on another transfer target they have been chasing for years , West Ham's iron-backed Deklan Rice. British media revealed that Rice was priced at £150 million and, if a transfer is decided, he prefers to return to his old club Chelsea.
Rice, 23, is already Captain West Ham, and his contract has more than two years to go, and he has a one-year priority renewal, so the Hammers have the initiative, and if the buyer does not give a high price, they will not release people. Moyes' side has priced Rice at £150 million and if someone brings him in, it will set a new Premier League transfer fee record, surpassing The original £100 million record for City signing Aston Villa captain Glalish.
Rice himself has no intention of renewing his contract, as West Ham will find it difficult to go any further in the Europa League, with giants such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, and Newcastle United on the horizon, with fierce competition for Champions League places. As a result, Moyes also knows that Rice will sooner or later go to the giants, and this summer will be a good opportunity to sell England's iron waist for the best transfer fee. However, Rice did not fall out with the club, and he will not force the palace to seek to leave the team.
Britain's "London Evening Standard" said that Rice herself tends to return to Chelsea, where she joined since childhood, but this depends on the result of Abu's sale of the Blues. Rice, who was sacked by the Blues at the age of 14, has longed to return home and stay in London to play is also his first choice.
This means that unless United can persuade Rice to change his mind, the club may once again be rejected. With a number of midfielders leaving the squad this summer, the club will need to bring in a new back, but may now need to look away from the British back and look for other targets. Ryan Gravenberch of Ajax recently linked up with the Red Devils.
Dutch midfielder Grafenberg, 19, also known as Gravenberg, has represented the Oranges nine times and participated in last year's European Championships. His contract with Ajax expires in 2023 and recent transfer talks have stalled, with Liverpool and Bayern Munich also watching his situation, with Bayern already taking the lead. Grafenberg confirmed: "The contract negotiations have stopped, I only have more than a year left on the contract, that's it. We can only wait and see what the future holds, my father and agent are in charge of these things, and I focus on playing football. I heard bayern were interested in me, as well as several other clubs. I don't know the price, it's said bayern offers 25 million euros, and you're naturally proud of it, because it's a lot of money."
Ajax boss Tenhag is the first favourite for the next Manchester United manager, and if he joins the Red Devils, multiple Ajax players could join, including striker Anthony Mateus.
United officially announced the bad news on Wednesday when club academy goalkeeper Paul Woolston was forced to retire due to injury at the age of 23. The England under-23 national youth goalkeeper held back tears and announced the decision to hang up his boots, with United first-team goalkeepers De Gea and Dean Henderson both sending him blessings. Woolston joined Manchester United from Newcastle in 2018 and has endured two serious injuries, surgeries and a long recovery period before finally being unable to return to the game.
