Manchester City have pulled out of the race to sign West Ham midfielder, Declan Rice, after Arsenal submitted a third bid worth £105 million.
City had a £90 million offer rejected by West Ham on Tuesday after the Premier League champions bid £80m up front, plus £10 million in add-ons for the England midfielder.
But Pep Guardiola’s side have decided to not match or surpass Arsenal’s £105 million bid for Rice with the Gunners offering a £100 million initial fee, plus £5 million in performance-related add-ons.

In pulling out of the race to sign Rice, City are following their strategy of not paying more than their own valuation on players, even if it means losing them to a Premier League rival.
Examples include Harry Maguire when he went to Manchester United, and when Jorginho and Marc Cucarella both joined Chelsea – all of whom they wanted to sign but felt comfortable walking away when the price got too high.
