Manchester City prepare to battle Manchester United for the signature of West Ham United lynchpin Declan Rice in 2022, according to a report.

Manchester City are reportedly ready to rival Manchester United for the signature of West Ham United's Declan Rice in the summer of 2022.

Despite interest from both Manchester clubs in the most recent transfer window, Rice remained on the books at the London Stadium, with his £80m price tag putting off potential suitors.

However, another intense battle for the England international's signature is expected to commence next summer, with a recent report claiming that Man United are putting the framework together for a potential move.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side may have to fend off interest from City, though, as The Sun claims that Pep Guardiola wants Rice to replace Fernandinho at the Etihad Stadium.

The veteran Brazilian extended his sint at Man City until 2022 earlier this year but is not expected to stay beyond the end of this season, although he could possibly remain at the club in a behind-the-scenes role.

Rice has just under three years left to run on his deal with West Ham, and the 22-year-old has played every minute of Premier League football so far this season. body check tags ::
