Manchester United close in on a £92.5m double deal involving Liam Delap. That gives the green light for his potential arrival alongside Matheus Cunha.
Liam Delap Prefers United Move Over Chelsea
Manchester Utd are now in pole position to land Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap. The youngster is reportedly favoring a switch to Old Trafford over rival interest from Chelsea.
According to talkSPORT and journalist Ben Jacobs, Delap prefers to remain in the north-west. He is hopeful of securing a move to Utd. While his final decision may hinge on Champions League qualification. However, insiders believe Utd’s offer, financially and structurally, is leading the race.
The forward is eager to sort his future before joining the England Under-21 squad for the European Championships in June. The striker, who has had a breakout season, is expected to cost the Red Devils around £30 million.
United’s Transfer Window Starts Strong With £92.5m Double Deal
A poor league campaign sees Ruben Amorim’s men sitting in 16th place. As a result, the club is working fast to fix their squad for next season. Their transfer window is off to a great start with deals for both Matheus Cunha and Liam Delap nearing completion.
Utd have already agreed to meet Cunha’s £62.5m release clause from Wolves. And now, Delap is expected to follow soon. The combined £92.5m investment reflects Ruben Amorim’s intent to rebuild the squad and inject new attacking power.
Delap, just 22, is seen as a long-term asset. The Old Trafford club is willing to meet his salary demands to get the deal done. Even without European football, the Red Devils are still seen as a top side for the forward.
A Europa League title remains a long shot for silverware this season. But, moves like these show United are already looking ahead.
