TEAMtalk understands there are internal calls for Real Madrid to make Arsenal's Declan Rice a priority target. Some influential voices within the Madrid hierarchy are advocating for Rice, and according to TEAMtalk Insider Graeme Bailey, some people with influence on Perez are indicating that Rice should be a player of interest. It is understood that Arsenal are not concerned about the interest from Spain, have already started discussions over a new contract, and are reportedly confident he will sign a new long-term agreement.
