Man Utd Snubs Osimhen Targets Ipswich Town Star
According to Givemesport, Manchester United are increasingly confident of signing Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap instead of Napoli star Victor Osimhen.
The Red Devils are likely to invest in the striker during the summer. Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have failed to meet expectations with just 5 league scores between them this season.
Napoli’s Osimhen has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent days, but Givemesport reveal the Red Devils believe Delap is a more attainable target than the Nigerian star this summer.
Chelsea are also interested in the 22-year-old, who could be available for £50 million at the end of the campaign.
Delap signed for the Tractor Boys from Manchester City for £20 million most recent summer. He has performed brilliantly for the canvassed outfit with 10 scores in the English top-flight so far. His progress with Kieran McKenna’s side has not defunct unnoticed.
Chelsea were interested in signing him during the winter transfer window but had budget constraints. The Blues could bounce back for his services this summer, and United look poised to compete with the west London giants for the talented marksman.
Delap has the potential to become a leading striker in future. He has surpassed with his hold-up play and physical presence up front. The City graduate has also impressed with his positioning in and around the box. He could goal more scores at the largest club.
The striker, described as a ‘monster‘ by Ipswich goalkeeper Alex Palmer, could be enticed to join United or Chelsea, but Man City could have the final announce on his future. The Cityzens could still be ruing their decision to sell Cole Palmer to the Blues.
Pep Guardiola’s side have the option to buy Delap back for £40 million this summer. The dominating English champions could trigger the clause to re-sign their graduate rather than allowing him to join a direct Premier League rival next season.
City could look for a quick profit by selling him to a top European club abroad.
