Declan Rice is apparently the focus of FC Bayern. With a conspicuous gesture in training, he recently fueled the rumors of a change.

Munich/London – FC Bayern's first season without a title is coming to an end. It is already clear that the Munich team will not go into the new season without serious changes in the squad. In their search for a new midfielder, the German record champions have come across Declan Rice. The England international is now giving Bayern fans hope for a transfer with a message on German.

Looking for a six-man: FC Bayern Munich interested in Declan Rice

The midfield, especially the sixes, was identified as one of the weak points in FC Bayern's game, along with the centre-forward position, which is why the club would like to strengthen itself accordingly. While Randal Kolo Muani and Julian Álvarez are arguably considered top candidates for attack, Bayern have West Ham United's Declan Rice in their sights for defensive midfield. Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel in particular is said to be convinced of his abilities.

The 41-time England international has been playing for the Hammers since his youth, more precisely since 2013, and could leave the club after ten years. His contract with the Londoners expires in the summer of next year, apparently his club is preparing for a bidding for the clearer.

Declan Rice greets German and fuels speculation about Bayern move

The fact that FC Bayern are interested in a transfer of the 24-year-old is probably an open secret on the island. Rice proved that when he sent a clear message to the public on Wednesday. As can be seen in a video posted by West Ham on his TikTok account, Rice greeted his fans at the training ground - in German. "Good morning," said the runner-up European champion twice audibly into the camera.

Some fans may interpret this as a sign, after all, FC Bayern is a top address in Europe and Rice is at the perfect age to take the next step in his career. With West Ham he is in this year's Conference League final against Florence, but in the league the capitals are only in a disappointing 14th place. A departure of the top player is therefore likely.

Declan Rice to FC Bayern? The West Ham star's price tag could become a problem

One snag for FC Bayern is the price tag for the Premier League star, as West Ham could demand €100m or even more for Rice, according to media reports. However, the people of Munich still seem to be interested. As Sky reported, those responsible are said to have already knocked on the Briton's door.

It is also reported that there are other contenders for a Rice transfer. The two London clubs Arsenal FC and Chelsea FC – where Rice learned to play football from 2006 to 2013 – as well as Manchester United are to watch him. Due to their financial strength, the English top clubs have an advantage over Bayern, who would probably rather shell out an amount in the three-digit million range for a striker.

However, Bayern also have alternatives in mind if it doesn't work out with Rice. In addition to the confirmed transfer of Konrad Laimer, who will arrive from Leipzig in the summer, the Bundesliga serial champions also have their eye on Adrien Rabiot from Juventus. Chelsea's Mateo Kovacic, who won the Champions League with Tuchel in 2021, is also said to be an option.

Although there are many hurdles, especially financial ones, Rice seems to be concerned with FC Bayern. There is no other way to explain his gesture. The next few weeks will show whether there will ultimately be a commitment. The Bavarians will definitely have to retrofit, but they can't keep up with English moon prices. (ajr)
