Breaking news: Ten hag makes final decision on Rice signing .

 Gary Neville has compared West Ham's 

position with Declan Rice to Manchester 

United's when Cristiano Ronaldo departed

 the club in 2009. 

Rice, 23, appears to be on his way out 

of West Ham in the next three years. 

According to the Guardian, the superstar

 midfielder has turned down a third contract

 offer to stay at West Ham. Rice is also 

said to be open to going to a bigger 

team as soon as this summer. 

His current contract expires in the

 summer of 2024, however West Ham 

has a 12-month extension option. 

The Hammers are unlikely to let him run 

down his contract and walk away, therefore

 an exit might be sanctioned in any of 

the next five transfer windows.
