Manchester United have received a potential transfer boost after it was revealed that Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap has a £30 million release clause—triggered if the club is relegated from the Premier League.
The 22-year-old has had a breakout season, scoring 12 goals and providing two assists in 33 league appearances. Delap, signed from Manchester City for £15m plus £5m in add-ons, has attracted interest from top clubs including Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle. City are set to benefit from a 20% sell-on clause if a deal goes through. Despite Ipswich initially slapping a £40m price tag on the England Under-21 international, their current position—12 points from safety—makes relegation likely, which would lower the fee.
United have reportedly made Delap their top summer target as they aim to strengthen under Ruben Amorim. However, some concerns linger over Delap’s readiness, with comparisons being drawn to Rasmus Hojlund, who has struggled under pressure at Old Trafford.
