Bayern are reportedly planning a £95m move for the West Ham star.

Winning the Conference League with West Ham is Declan Rice’s “main focus” amid links with a switch to Bayern Munich.

Rice’s next move is one of the hottest topics of the upcoming transfer window.

Bayern Munich have emerged as serious suitors for Rice, with Thomas Tuchel reportedly being a big fan of the England international.

According to Mirror, the Bundesliga champions are ready to offer a staggering “package worth £95million” to sign Rice from West Ham.

Bayern’s interest comes amid Liverpool’s push to bring Rice to Anfield ahead of the next season. The 24-year-old is one of the Reds’ main targets as they look to rebuild their midfield line this summer.

Rice, however, seems too occupied to deal with transfer issues. The West Ham midfielder helped his side finish the Premier League at the 14th spot while reaching the UEFA Conference League final.

“I’ve not really focused on any of that, to be honest,” Rice said (via Metro).

“My main focus this season, from the World Cup onwards, has been getting us out of a relegation battle and, of course, having one eye on winning this trophy.

“Everything else is just noise and speculation. Obviously, I can’t help that, it comes with playing.

“But my main focus is playing for West Ham and winning this final. My heart’s set on that, doing it for the club, for my family, for the fans and that’s my only focus.

“I want to make them all very happy and my focus is on doing that.”

West Ham will take on Roma in the Conference League final on June 7.
