Chelsea Football Club is close to completing a £30 million deal to bring 22-year-old striker Liam Delap from Ipswich Town.
Delap has played very well and has chosen Chelsea over other teams that also wanted him, like Manchester United and Newcastle United.
As part of the deal, Chelsea might loan their young striker, Marc Guiu, to Ipswich.
Even though playing in European competitions usually attracts players, it is not confirmed that this is why Delap chose Chelsea.
Chelsea plans to go ahead with the transfer by paying Delap’s release clause and finalising the personal agreement soon, aiming to improve their team for the next season.
Chelsea expects to finalize the Liam Delap deal shortly after having more positive discussions with him this week.
Delap prefers Chelsea’s project and is expected to take the next formal steps to trigger the £30 million release clause.
Chelsea are getting closer to finalizing the deal for Liam Delap, and they are finishing the details of a long-term contract with his agents.
The appreciation from Enzo Maresca and the chance to play in the UEFA Champions League have made a difference, leading Chelsea to activate the £30 million release clause.
