With West Ham struggling to win tickets to next season’s Champions League, there are speculations about whether Rice wants to join another big man. Rice is earning just £62,000 a week at West Ham and if he gets a raise it is likely that West Ham will also want to extend his contract, and that will make it difficult for Rice when the time comes for him to want to move clubs.

Rice has three years left on his contract and although the big clubs have approached him, they were alarmed when West Ham responded with a price of 150 million pounds. It is known that Rice has no intention of joining another club at this time, he is still satisfied with his role at West Ham.

However, according to the Evening Standard, Rice plans to leave West Ham when his contract ends and he has a favorite destination: Chelsea. Although the club currently faces an uncertain future, it is still a big club with regular Champions League opportunities, and joining “The Blues” saves Rice from having to move out of London.

Chelsea was the first club Rice trained at as a child before leaving at 14 for West Ham, and he and Mason Mount are longtime friends and Rice has known many other players at Chelsea. Rice has refused West Ham’s invitation to extend twice and if nothing changes, Rice will go to Chelsea in 2025, when this club will have a new owner and stabilize the upper floor.

Evening Standard also said that Rice has no intention of joining MU, thinks that this club is too unstable for him to confidently hand over the future. However, in the next 3 years, the situation of the teams can completely change and Rice may think differently.
