The McLaren Formula 1 team is interested in signing Daniel Ricciardo for the next season and offers over 20 million dollars. The Australian driver has said previously that he is trying to find new options for his career in Formula 1 and he was thinking his exit from Red Bull Racing.

His contract with Red Bull expires at the end of 2018 and he is already analysing his options for 2019. It is uncertain if Fernando Alonso will retire or remain in the Formula 1 Championship for the next year. This is something that brings McLaren in a difficult position as it must think very carefully the line-up of drivers from now.
The advisor of Red Bull Helmut Marko spoke about Ricciardo on Sport Bild after Monaco Grand Prix: "Our Daniel Ricciardo is the king of the market. McLaren offers him more every week, but above all some people in Mercedes would absolutely want to join them in the team. We want to keep him and Daniel knows it. Why should he go to Mercedes or Ferrari? To be a No. 2 driver? With us, Daniel has equal opportunities with the same equipment and no team orders. I think he knows that too."
It is worth noting that if Ricciardo signs with McLaren, then his contract will make him one of the highest-paid drivers in Formula 1.

Might as well try and lure Hamilton and Vettel, while they're at it.
