Manchester City could consider using 19-year-old sensation Carlos Borges in a deal to buy West Ham captain Declan Rice, according to ExWHUemployee.
Ex claims (16 June) on his individual Patreon that Kalvin Phillips does not want to transfer to the London Stadium.
Portuguese teenager Borge, who mostly plays as a winger, is reported to be of interest to West Ham.
Arsenal is reportedly working on a second offer that could come close to the key £100 million down payment that the Hammers are looking for.

It will be interesting to watch whether Manchester City pursues their interest in the 24-year-old; after all, Rice would benefit most from it.
Although there has been much discussion about his desire to join Arsenal, he must first consider his reasons for leaving the London Stadium.
One of the primary reasons why he wants to go has been suggested to be his desire to play Champions League football. Moving to The Emirates would offer that, but it wouldn’t make sense if he also wanted to win awards.
Yes, there is a potential that Arsenal may occasionally win the FA Cup, but despite their strong Premier League campaign, there is little likelihood that they will be able to compete with Manchester City.
Rice is nearly certain to become one of the world’s top midfielders if he transfers to The Etihad. Pep Guardiola would elevate his performance.
The majority of West Ham supporters would be better if Rice relocated to the North West. It just won’t feel right if he returns wearing an Arsenal jersey.
