What speaks against him: The extremely high transfer fee. His market value at transfermarkt.de is currently estimated at 80 million euros. He still has a contract with the Hammers until 2024, which can probably be extended to 2025 by option.
What makes it even more difficult for Bayern to advertise: Chelsea and Arsenal are also interested in Rice.
