Arsenal and Manchester City have been engaged in a thrilling tug-of-war for Dylan Rice (Rice) amid the beacons of the soccer transfer market. Arsenal made a decisive move on Wednesday (28) to make a third record-breaking transfer offer of up to £105 million (HK$1.046 billion) to West Ham, a move that marked a turning point in the race, according to an exclusive disclosure by The Athletic. The two sides are in intense negotiations over payment details, and if City give up on this, Arsenal may get their wish for this transfer bonanza.
Previously, Manchester City had made a goodwill gesture with an offer of 90 million pounds (about 900 million Hong Kong dollars), but was politely rejected by West Ham. Undaunted by the rejection, Arsenal resolutely raised their offer to £105 million, a price believed to have touched West Ham's psychological level. However, the two clubs are still in the payment term, bonus distribution and other details of the dispute, and do not rule out the possibility of Manchester City counterattack. The outcome of this battle is expected to be revealed today.
