According to Transfer journalist Nicolo Schira, Arsenal are already preparing contract talks with Rice amid plans to offer him a deal that will secure his future at the club until the summer of 2031. This move comes as Real Madrid are reportedly keen on signing the midfielder. Declan Rice has previously rejected interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, showing his commitment to staying in the Premier League.
Manchester City are also active in the transfer market, with reports suggesting they are admirers of Atletico Madrid midfielder Álex Baena. The 25-year-old has started seven games for Spain at the World Cup and is also on the radar of Newcastle and Aston Villa.
