Although West Ham were originally demanding £150m for the midfielder, they may be forced to accept a lot less to avoid him leaving on a free transfer.

If Rice continues to turn down new contract offers, he will eventually be able to leave on a free, so West Ham may sell him this summer to avoid this situation.

However, it’s unlikely anyone will be willing to pay £150m, so the London club could accept a smaller fee this summer.

Manchester United will be in desperate need for a midfielder this summer, with Nemanja Matic asking to leave, and Paul Pogba out of contract.
