West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice, who continues to be linked with Chelsea, does not want to sign a new deal with the Hammers, according to a report.

Declan Rice reportedly has no desire to sign a new contract with West Ham United, with the midfielder looking to leave London Stadium during next summer's transfer window.

There was speculation surrounding the 23-year-old's future during the recent market, but the Hammers are believed to have placed a £150m valuation on his shoulders.

Rice has again been a vital player for David Moyes's side this season, making 13 appearances in all competitions, contributing two assists in the process.

The midfielder's existing deal with West Ham is due to expire in June 2024, although the club have the option of activating a further 12 months to take him to the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

According to Football Insider, Rice wants to move to a 'Champions League giant' next summer, with the England international not prepared to sign a new contract with the Hammers.

The report claims that Rice has been offered an eight-year contract by West Ham, which would see him paid £200,000 a week, but the midfielder does not want to commit his long-term future to the club.

The Hammers are allegedly currently working to identify a possible replacement for Rice, with the capital side preparing for the possibility of losing him.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City are among the clubs to be heavily linked with the Englishman over the last couple of years.

Meanwhile, there is believed to be firm interest from Chelsea, who had Rice in their youth system before releasing the midfielder at the age of 14.

Rice made his first-team debut for the Hammers in 2017, and he has now represented the capital side on 208 occasions in all competitions, contributing 10 goals and 12 assists in the process.

Jorginho and N'Golo Kante will both see their current deals at Chelsea expire next summer, so the Blues are likely to be in the market for a new central midfielder at the end of the campaign.

Rice's future could be related to Jude Bellingham's, though, with the Borussia Dortmund youngster also expected to be on the move next summer.

Chelsea have also been linked with the former Birmingham City youngster, although the strongest interest from the Premier League is thought to be coming from Man United and Liverpool.

Rice has made nine Premier League appearances for West Ham this season, in addition to four outings in the Europa Conference League.

Moyes's side are currently on a four-game winning run in all competitions, having been victorious in their last two league games against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham, in addition to their two Europa Conference League fixtures with Anderlecht.
