[Fabrizio Romano] This is the final point being discussed between Arsenal and West Ham for Declan Rice… ⚪️🔴⌛️
◉ Arsenal offer to pay £100m fixed fee in four years.
◉ West Ham want £100m fixed fee to be paid in 18 months.
Talks progressing.
It’s very close — #AFC confident since yesterday.
100m in 1.5 years seems like a crazy ask.
Surely no club would accept that lol, and with City dropping out it's probably more advantage us
Looks like compromise will be 2.5-3 years
I think they had a point… when we were only guaranteeing 75m, but now they will have to budge or give up on a record transfer fee that makes everyone happy.
100M Pounds over 18 months is an absolute bonkers ask. It's like they have a release clause without having a release clause.
Even 100M over three installments is insane. If they reject this one, we should walk away.
