Overview

• Ipswich Town’s likely relegation will trigger Liam Delap’s £30 million release clause, making him a top summer transfer target.
• Newcastle United is leading the pursuit, citing Delap’s fit as a physical, hold-up striker to complement Alexander Isak in a potential Champions League campaign.
• Manchester United and Chelsea are also actively vying for Delap, with offers expected once Ipswich’s demotion is confirmed.
• Delap has impressed this season with 12 Premier League goals despite Ipswich’s struggles, boosting his value in a competitive striker market.
• The player’s decision may hinge on guaranteed playing time, with Newcastle’s depth needs contrasting with potential starting roles at other clubs.
