Newcastle target Declan Rice now annoyed by club who want to sign him

Declan Rice is a man in demand this summer.

Newcastle United are just one of many leading clubs to have been linked with a move for the England international, who could seemingly have his pick of Premier League giants.

Arsenal continue to be touted as a landing spot for Rice, with West Ham reportedly increasingly resigned to losing their academy graduate.

Such is the 24-year-old’s standing in the game, English clubs aren’t the only teams being linked with Rice, a player teammate Flyn Downes described as “unbelievable.”

Bayern Munich were recently said to have entered the race but now a fresh update in regards to the German giants has emerged.

Declan Rice irritated by Bayern Munich

Indeed, BILD (via Sport Witness) suggest recent instability at the Allianz Arena has irritated the player.

Bayern only recently brought in Thomas Tuchel but the former Chelsea manager is already being tipped for an exit, while sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic and chief executive Oliver Kahn left after the club’s Bundesliga title win.

As such, Rice is understood to have reservations about the move and would instead prefer to join a club operating on a more stable footing at this stage of his career.

Newcastle might trail the others on that front

While Newcastle are by no means unstable – far from it in fact – their story is one of being bound on an upward trajectory.

If Rice is looking for major honours right away, there are probably better places to go than St James’ Park this summer.

Though the progress has been astounding under Eddie Howe and all the signs are that the club will challenge the established elite even further, Rice may feel the likes of Arsenal or Manchester United offer more guarantees.

Whether he’d be right in that view is up for debate but it’s hardly something that could be argued with were that to be his opinion.

That’s without evening mentioning the player’s wages. Thought to be carrying a transfer fee of around £120m, the Daily Telegraph have suggested Rice’s salary could be an issue on Tyneside.

At this early stage, it looks like too early in the Newcastle project for Rice.
