Westham's performance has been declining this season, coupled with the crisis of losing core players, England international Dylan Rice only has one year left in his contract, and rumors of a transfer have been spreading. It is reported that Westham has made an offer to Manchester City, willing to Gavin Ferris salary increase to buy Rice, so that both sides will be able to get what they want, Manchester City get what they want, and Westham can also reap the wealth of double harvest.
Despite his central role at Westham, Rice is worth a lot in the transfer market. The club are interested in selling him for cash, which is expected to fetch as much as £100 million, and subsequently bringing in similar players at lower prices to add to the squad.
City bought Firas for £45 million last summer, but the new signing suffered a shoulder injury shortly after joining the club and has only played five games for the Blue Moon this season. However, he has returned from injury to play alongside Rice in the World Cup in Qatar.
Rumor has it that Manchester City are interested in acquiring Rice for Firas plus cash, which is good news for Westham. This is because Westham have no intention of renewing Rice's contract and intend to sell the player at a high price. Meanwhile, Moyes has always been interested in Ferrars, and there were rumors that he wanted to sign the England international in January last year. Now that City have offered the player a pay rise, Westham are facing a temptation that is hard to resist.
