There is no way West Ham are going to be negotiated down for players like Kalvin
Strong rumours Arsenal will launch a 92m offer after the Conference final, & if yourselves and United are waffling on about Kalvin Phillips + 50m or Harry Maguire + 60m for Rice, then it will make it all the more easier for us to do a deal, especially given the strong indication Rice has a strong desire to remain in London.
Not only that, West Ham have shown massive interest in Balogun, 21 year with 20 goals in Ligue one, grew up in England but is pledged to the USA. Leipzig are apparently keen on him for around 35m euro. This is the type of players West Ham would want. Plenty upside potential & young. With Phillips and Maguire, there is no resale value. But even still, there is not going to be a swap deal.
The deal West Ham want for Rice will be a 100% cash offer.
