Real Madrid interest in Declan Rice
Overview
Real Madrid has reportedly identified Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice as a priority transfer target. In response, Arsenal is working to secure the long-term future of the 27-year-old by preparing to offer fresh contract terms to protect his services, as his current deal is set to expire in 2028.
Arsenal is reportedly considering a contract extension that could keep Rice at the club until 2031. The midfielder, whose value is estimated at approximately 120 million euros, recently earned recognition as one of the 30 nominees for the 2026 Ballon d’Or.
On the field, Rice recently participated in a 2-1 London derby victory over Chelsea. The match included a confrontation between Rice and Chelsea’s Morgan Rogers following a late foul by Rice, an action described by former midfielder Paul Scholes as one of the ‘most annoying things in the world.’ Despite the incident, Rice was noted for his leadership in maintaining team composure.
