Romano Exclusive: Liam Delap’s £30m Relegation Release Clause at Ipswich Town
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Liam Delap’s contract at Ipswich Town includes a £30 million release clause, which will become active if the club suffers relegation from the Championship.
Key Details:
– Release Clause: £30m (only triggered if Ipswich are relegated).
– Current Situation: Ipswich, newly promoted to the Championship, are aiming to establish themselves, but Delap’s future could hinge on their league status.
– Delap’s Status: The Manchester City loanee (or permanent signing, depending on the deal structure) is seen as a major talent, and clubs could pounce if the clause becomes active.
Why It Matters:
– **Ipswich’s Risk:** If they struggle and drop to **League One**, they could lose Delap for a fixed fee.
– **Premier League Interest:** Clubs may monitor his situation, as £30m for a young, high-potential striker could be attractive.
– Man City’s Role: If a sell-on clause exists, they could benefit from a future sale.
What’s Next?
Delap, 21, will aim to impress at Ipswich, but his long-term future could depend on the club’s ability to stay in the Championship.
