      The Spaniard accepted a drastic reduction on his current £375,000-a-week salary, but United officials did not sign the contract.

      The Etihad giants are huge admirers of the Hammers captain, 24, and keen to bolster their midfield following Ilkay Gundogan’s exit.
      Arsenal saw two bids for Rice – the second for £75m plus £15m in add-ons – rejected last week.
      But this evening City tabled their own opening offer while their rivals Arsenal are preparing a THIRD bid and remain hopeful of landing their No1 summer transfer target.
      It is understood the Treble winners proposed a deal for an initial £80m with £10m in add-ons.

      Kalvin Phillips could be added into subsequent City offers to try and tempt West Ham to do business, especially after the Hammers failed to sign Phillips from Leeds.
      City had previously held off on making a bid because Rice would prefer to stay in London with his family and join Arsenal.
      However, the Gunners had failed to make an offer West Ham were willing to accept.
      City held off on making a move until they could get assurances from the 43-cap England ace.

      But now Pep Guardiola’s side have pounced on their rivals’ hesitancy with the statement offer.
      They hope the extra £5m upfront rather than in add-ons could tempt West Ham to sell.
      However, the Hammers have continually wanted to hold out for £100m for their influential club captain, who has one year left on his current London Stadium contract – although there is an option for an extra 12 months.
      Chairman David Sullivan admitted after the Europa Conference League win that the memorable final would likely have been Rice’s final game for the club because he “wanted to go”.
      Rice was in Chelsea’s academy until he was released aged 14 and joined West Ham in 2014.
      He broke through into the first team in 2017 and has gone on to make 245 appearances for the East Londoners.
      The dramatic 2-1 win over Fiorentina in Prague, sealed by Jarrod Bowen’s late winner, secured the Hammers’ first European trophy for 58 years and etched skipper Rice’s name into the club’s history books forever.
      But few could begrudge the talismanic figure from fulfilling his desire to compete for the top titles regularly, including the Premier League and Champions League.
      And the latest development twist could nudge Guardiola into pole position to land him.
      Fellow Arsenal target Moises Caicedo, meanwhile, has reportedly agreed personal terms with Chelsea.
      The Blues, though, are yet to negotiate a transfer fee with Brighton for the Ecuador star.

      Chelsea ‘agree terms with Moises Caicedo with Blues’ summer transfer spree set to continue’

      by

      CHELSEA have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Moises Caicedo.The Blues are chasing after a new midfielder with Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic set to follow N’Golo Kante away from Stamford Bridge this summer.

      And Fabrizio Romano claims personal terms with Caicedo are all wrapped up.
      However, the West Londoners still need to settle on a fee with Brighton, who are notoriously tough negotiators and will refuse to be bullied into selling their star asset.
      The Seagulls – who received huge compensation when Graham Potter left for Chelsea last September – rejected a bid worth £75million from Arsenal in January for Caicedo.
      And they are determined to hold out for around £80m to £100m for their influential midfielder.
      READ MORE CHELSEA NEWS
      It is reported an initial bid of £60m from Chelsea was snubbed earlier in June.
      The 32-cap Ecuador international joined Brighton from Independiente del Valle in 2021 and went on loan to Beerschot in 2021-22.
      But the 5ft 10ins star rose to prominence under Potter and Roberto De Zerbi last season, making 43 appearances for the south-coast club.
      Arsenal and Manchester United have also been linked with Caicedo this summer.

      And it looked as though the Red Devils could be in pole position after an interview resurfaced from 2020 in which the midfielder confirmed it was a “dream to play for Manchester United” and follow in the footsteps of compatriot Antonio Valencia.
      Now, though, it looks as though Chelsea could come out on top in the race – while Brighton eye a shock swoop for Muhammed Kudus.
      Caicedo would fill the gaps created by Kante’s departure, five months after Jorginho joined Arsenal.
      And he could be paired up with £106m record-signing Enzo Fernandez under new boss Mauricio Pochettino.
      Chelsea have already signed Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig this month in a £52m deal.
      They also secured deals with youngsters Dujuan Richards and Kendry Paez, although both players must wait until they turn 18 to move to England and link up with the Blues.
      Villarreal ace Nicholas Jackson could also be on his way to Stamford Bridge after reportedly triggering the Senegalese forward’s £30m release clause. More
