Sadio Mane and Joao Cancelo are not expected to stay at the club after the end of the season. Bayern has the option to purchase Joao Cancelo from Manchester City when his loan period is through, but they do not have any plans to spend more than £60 million on the Portuguese defender while Sadio Mane, who has only spent one season at Bayern and has already scored 12 goals, is also set to become available for sale in the summer. Under the new manager Thomas Tuchel, the Senegal forward has not been able to land a regular starting position, making a return to the Premier League his most likely alternative. The Bundesliga’s top club recently handed Mane a one-game suspension following an altercation with teammate Leroy Sane.
West Ham, meanwhile, wants David Moyes to continue leading the team in the upcoming campaign. At the conclusion of the current season, Moyes will hold discussions regarding his intentions for the following season. He has one more year left on his contract. Moyes will make the option to go if he so chooses. In particular, if they avoid relegation and remain in the Premier League, West Ham would prefer that he continue. With three games remaining, they are six points above the drop zone. Although there were early in-the-season rumors that his position was in jeopardy, West Ham has always wanted him to stay and has never spoken to any prospective successors.
Declan Rice may leave West Ham this summer, according to Moyes, who acknowledged this week for the first time that there is a “good chance” that he will. Rice, the captain of the Hammers, wants to play for a Champions League team but his price tag is over £100 million. Nevertheless, it is known that the 24-year-old English midfielder is attracting interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
“Sincerely, we hope he does. Although we’d like for him to play for West Ham, we understand that may not be the case when the season is through,” he added. “So, that is one of the planning-related scenarios. Although there are plans for Dec to be here, we are also well aware that there is a strong risk he won’t be.”
