Manchester United and Chelsea are interested in signing Liam Delap in the upcoming summer transfer window. They can potentially try to sign him for just 30 million euros.
Liam Delap’s performance this season
Liam Delap was playing for Manchester City. But soon after, he faced competition with players such as Haaland up front. So it was always going to be hard for him to ensure his spot on the main team. That’s why he made his move to Ipswich Town. He cost them about 15 million euros, not a bad amount of money. Of course he’s been worth it up until now.
This season, he has scored 12 goals in 33 games. It is not Golden Boot level by any chance, but he is creating these kinds of numbers for a club that is fighting a relegation battle. He is one of the players who are shining at Ipswich Town. He’s quick, strong, and gets into good positions enough. A striker like that is just what any big club wants.
Liam Delap’s 30 Million Euros Release Clause
Here’s where things get really interesting. If Ipswich goes down, Delap can be picked up for just 30 million euros because of a release clause in his contract.
Right now, they’re 12 points off safety with only seven games left. It’s not great odds. So, if they get relegated from the league, any club willing to pay the fee can take him.
The kind of player he is, this release clause is not a huge amount of money for him. He is worth more than 30 million euros.
Why are Manchester United and Chelsea interested in him?
Reportedly, Manchester United is watching this situation closely. Their main striker, Rasmus Højlund, isn’t performing this season. And the other attackers are also struggling with scoring goals this season in the Premier League. So they need an upgrade for him. Delap is a younger option who would be brought into the squad. And he can help the Red Devils to reclaim their glory. Currently, when they are struggling financially, a striker for just 30 million euros is a great deal for them. And they really need a proven striker to improve their goal scoring.
Chelsea has been signing young players all over the place in the last few transfer windows, and Delap fits that profile. Their main striker, Nicholas Jackson, is not good enough for the Blues. He’s inconsistent, and he made a lot of mistakes this season that hurt them in so many matches. And they are struggling with their attacking output. That’s why a player like Delap will help the Blues to regain their glory in the footballing world.
It’s obvious that there is a lot of interest, and they have to face a lot of competition. Because Liverpool, Everton, and Newcastle are also interested in him.
So, what’s next?
Honestly, it really just comes down to what happens in these last few weeks. If Ipswich somehow manages to pull off something special and doesn’t get relegated from the league. Then he might just decide to stay. But if they drop back down? He’s going to have a lot of options. And thirty million euros for a young striker with Premier League experience? Top clubs will have a hard time turning that down.
There is going to be so much competition to sign him. So don’t be surprised if we’re talking about Delap a lot this summer.
