Real Madrid Targets Declan Rice to Strengthen Midfield

Some voices within Real Madrid are urging the club's management, led by Florentino Perez, to make Arsenal star Declan Rice a primary target to strengthen the midfield, according to "TEAMtalk."

Real Madrid continues to explore several options to strengthen their midfield, including Rodri from Manchester City and Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea, with ongoing interest in both players within the club.

The report indicates that some figures within Real Madrid believe that Declan Rice is currently the best all-around midfielder in Europe and deserves to be at the top of the team's target list.

Rice is having an outstanding season with Arsenal, being one of the key players for both the team and the English national squad at this stage.

On the other hand, the same source confirms that Arsenal has already started negotiations to renew Rice's contract, with great confidence in reaching a new agreement in the near future, despite Real Madrid's interest in his services.
