Bayern Munich are reportedly keen to try and sign West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice and are weighing up an official offer.
According to various reports, the Bavarians' head coach, Thomas Tuchel has initiated the potential acquisition of the Hammers' defensive midfielder. The manager considers 24-year-old Rice to be a perfect long-term replacement for Joshua Kimmich, recently monitored by La Liga goliaths Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Although Tuchel has already discussed Rice's candidacy with sporting director Hasan Salihamid�i?, Die Rotten are still unsure whether they can win competition against more financially powerful Arsenal or Manchester United, who are also keen to buy the England international in the summer.

Reliability: 4.5
RB Leipzig centre-back Josko Gvardiol still remains a transfer target for Manchester City.
The citizens are currently focused on winning the treble, but in a few weeks time the club will review the future of certain footballers who insist on leaving.
One of them could be Aymeric Laporte, who has long been stuck on a bench after losing competition to John Stones, Ruben Diaz, Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji. The Spaniard is unhappy at the Etihad and wants some changes in his career.
Therefore, the Sky Blues are considering Gvardiol, whom Leipzig value at �98 millions, as a potential replacement for Laporte. Talks between the parties are yet to be opened, though the situation may begin to develop as early as June.
