Key members of Real Madrid’s recruitment team are reportedly pushing for the club to consider a move for Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice following his impressive performances for the North London side.

The 27-year-old England international has attracted admiration within the Spanish club for his leadership qualities, physical presence, and technical ability.

Rice played a major role in Arsenal’s successful Premier League campaign, helping the club secure its first league title in 22 years.

The midfielder contributed five goals and seven assists during the recently concluded season, establishing himself as one of Arsenal’s most influential players.

Real Madrid are said to view Rice as a player capable of strengthening any midfield setup due to his consistency and versatility.

However, it remains unclear whether Arsenal would entertain offers for one of their key players, particularly after signing him for £100 million in 2023.

The transfer fee made Rice one of the most expensive English players in football history at the time.

Neither Arsenal nor Real Madrid has officially commented on the reported interest.
