Man Utd’s Interest in Delap
Rumors are swirling that Manchester United is leading the race to secure Ipswich Town’s rising star, Liam Delap. The 22-year-old striker is reportedly open to joining the Red Devils at Old Trafford this upcoming season. However, his decision might hinge on whether Manchester United emerges victorious in the Europa League final and secures a coveted spot in the next season’s Champions League.
Competition for Delap
While Man Utd seems to have an edge, Newcastle and Chelsea are also vying for Delap’s signature, aiming to strengthen their squads for a shot at Champions League qualification through Premier League performance. With a £30 million release clause hanging over his Ipswich contract post-relegation, Delap is anticipated to be one of the first big transfers of the summer transfer window.
Cunha Emerges as Another Target
In addition to Delap, Wolves’ forward Matheus Cunha has emerged as a prime target for Manchester United this transfer season. Cunha’s smooth transition could be attributed to the £64 million release clause in his contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Sky Sports News revealed in April that Cunha has signaled interest in a potential move to Old Trafford despite facing competition from other Premier League clubs. Sources close to the Brazilian forward have indicated his admiration for Manchester United as he views them among the elite clubs globally. Even their current Premier League standing doesn’t deter Cunha from considering a move to join their ranks.
Rival Suitors and Financial Incentives
Arsenal and Aston Villa have initiated preliminary discussions about securing Cunha’s services, hinting at intense competition within England for the talented player. Notably, Saudi Pro League teams have emerged as dark horses willing to meet Cunha’s hefty buyout clause of £64 million if needed.
