Manchester United has been told that Liam Delap would be an excellent fit at Old Trafford, whereby the club is said to have endured the Ipswich Town their top Summer Transfer target
Manchester United is told a fee of £ 60 million and wages of £ 150,000 a week should be sufficient to seal the signature of Liam Delap. The city of the city of Ipswich is said to be the main target of the club, because Ruben Amorim wants to revise his team in the summer transfer window to tackle a lack of goals.
This season, the 22-year-old has taken 12 goals in 30 Premier League performances for the Tractor Boys, making him an attractive prospect. With Ipswich on the edge of relegation to the championship, it is assumed that Delap has included a release clause of £ 40 million in his contract.
United will not have too little competition if they chase a deal, with Chelsea, Newcastle and Liverpool would also be interested in acquiring the services of the former young of Manchester City. Although it could cause a potential payout to their neighbors, ex-sector goalkeeper Ben Foster thinks that Delap would be the perfect fit at Old Trafford. However, he stated that it may cost that the Red Devils may have to pay more than £ 40 million to win the bidding war.
“Where does Liam Delap go because I am guaranteed to leave Ipswich,” said the former England and Wrexham keeper on his Fozcast -Podcast. “He probably has ten teams who look at him in the Premier League, because he is a plan A for a few and he is an unreal plan B for many of them.
“It is going to cost £ 60 million only because of his age. He is young, he has shown what he can do and he is aggressive. I think he would be a fantastic addition to one of those teams.
“Man United could sign him and he would also fit them on the floor. If they are willing to pay you 150 grand a week, I think he would go there.”
Although Foster suggested that he would make a good backup option for many teams, it is assumed that Delap wants a switch to a club that allows him to play football regularly. United has difficulty finding the net this season, on average hardly more than one goal per match in the Premier League.
Bruno Fernandes is the current top scorer of the club with eight goals, while Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have only collected three. The shortlist of United of Strikers from United was previously said that the Victor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Eintracht Fankfurt's Hugo Ekiteke, Hugo Ekitekeke, but Delap now seems to have appeared for them.
Amorim discussed his transfer priorities last week and said: “I just want to concentrate on our strengths and bring in one or two players – big players. We have to concentrate and we do all the things that are so much better next season.
“In my opinion, I can't” make up for this thing in four years. “We have to be so much better now. This is a huge club. The focus must be how we can improve our team in every aspect. The Premier League is so difficult.”
“I hear a lot of people say that Sir Alex Ferguson won three or four years to win something – but it is not possible nowadays, because you have to give three interviews for each match, so the pressure is different.”
He added: “But we are Manchester United. There are many good things. Regardless of the pressure, we have to be there with the other greats. We have to face a lot of adversity and many large teams, more than in the past.”
