Rams Academy Star Liam Delap Set for £30m Premier League Move After Man Utd Snub

Ipswich Town forward Liam Delap, 22, has decided to join Chelsea for £30 million, turning down interest from Manchester United in May 2025.
Delap's decision was influenced by Chelsea's Champions League football and the club's offer of regular playing time, while United's lack of European competition deterred him.
Delap scored 12 goals in 37 appearances in the 2024-25 season despite Ipswich's relegation, triggering a £30 million release clause that Chelsea plans to activate imminently.
Chelsea is finalizing personal terms with Delap, who will reunite with former Manchester City teammates Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia, enhancing his integration at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United must now pursue alternative forwards after losing their top striker target, highlighting their urgent need to improve a frontline that scored just 44 league goals last season.
