Manchester City withdraw from race to sign Declan Rice as Arsenal close in on club record £105m deal The Premier League champions have opted against matching Arsenal’s £105million bid for the England international. Manchester City have today pulled out of the race to sign Declan Rice — leaving Arsenal free to finalise the last details of what will be a club record £105million transfer from West Ham. Pep Guardiola’s side will turn their attentions to a different midfielder after deciding not to match the Gunners’ £100million plus £5million in add-ons offer which was made on Tuesday.
