“Transfer SHOCKER: Liam Delap Rejects Man Utd – You Won’t Believe Where He’s Heading
Ipswich Star Liam Delap Likely to Reject Manchester United for European Football
What’s the latest?
Liam Delap, currently shining at Ipswich Town, is reportedly set to turn down interest from Manchester United, with a preference for a move to a Premier League club competing in Europe next season.
According to the Daily Star, the 22-year-old striker has his sights set on clubs like Chelsea or Arsenal, who are expected to be involved in European competitions next year.
Although United have expressed strong interest in signing him, Delap is said to be uncertain about making the switch to Old Trafford.
The bigger picture
Delap has a £30 million ($39.5m) release clause that could be triggered if Ipswich are relegated — a scenario that looks increasingly likely as the season nears its end.
If the reports hold weight, it’s a concerning sign for United, who appear to be struggling to attract emerging talent despite their global stature.
Did you know?
Currently sitting 14th in the Premier League, Manchester United’s only route to Champions League football next season is through winning the Europa League.
Arsenal are all but guaranteed European football, and Chelsea remain in the race as well, making them more attractive destinations for a player like Delap.
What’s next?
Despite the swirling transfer rumors, Delap is expected to be in the lineup when Ipswich face Arsenal in their upcoming Premier League clash on Sunday.
