Arsenal reportedly considering alternative options for Declan Rice

Arsenal could still face competition from other top clubs in their pursuit of Barella.

Declan Rice is Arsenal’s main target but this deal might be hijacked by Man City. The Gunners are now reportedly considering alternative options in the transfer window.

The North London club have seen their bids for Rice rejected by West Ham, and Manchester City’s interest has added further competition.

Rice is likely to rise due to the increased competition, Arsenal may choose to withdraw their interest rather than overpay for the player.

FC Inter News reports that Arsenal has turned their attention to Inter Milan’s Nicolo Barella. Barella is highly regarded as one of the top Italian midfielders and has consistently performed well in both domestic and international competitions.

Arsenal could still face competition from other top clubs in their pursuit of Barella, although he is expected to be a more affordable option compared to Rice.
