Juventus on alert as Delap 35m price set by Ipswich Town relegation

Juventus are on full alert after Ipswich Town were relegated from the Premier League, meaning transfer target Liam Delap’s release clause is active.

The 22-year-old centre-forward was unable to prevent Ipswich Town from plunging down a division into the Championship.

Their relegation was sealed this afternoon with a 3-0 defeat to Sandro Tonali’s Newcastle United.

It means that the release clause in Delap’s contract is now active, set at £30m, which is circa €35m.

Delap has drawn interest from Juventus

The striker has found the net 12 times in 33 Premier League games this season, along with contributing a pair of assists for his teammates.

Juventus have shown interest over the last few months, but they face strong competition from Manchester United, Chelsea and more Premier League teams.

A product of the Manchester City youth academy, Delap also had experiences playing for Stoke City, Preston and Hull City before the €17.85m move to Ipswich Town in the summer of 2024.

Bologna and Fiorentina had been linked with the player before he made the transfer to Ipswich.
