The article discusses the potential transfer of 22-year-old striker Delap from Ipswich Town following their relegation from the Premier League. Delap had an impressive season, scoring 12 goals in 37 appearances, and now has a £30 million release clause that Manchester United is poised to activate. Reports indicate that United has already negotiated terms with Delap's representatives and awaits his decision. A notable factor in his choice is that United cannot guarantee Champions League football next season, which may influence his final decision.
The 22-year-old was a standout player for the Tractor Boys this season, scoring 12 goals in 37 Premier League appearances whilst also chipping in with a couple of assists.
Ipswich's relegation from the top flight means the 30m release clause in Delap's contract can be activated this summer, and he is expected to be on the move.
It has been reported by ESPN that the Red Devils have already agreed the framework of a deal for the England U21 international and are now waiting for the striker to decide on his next move.
Unlike those clubs, Man United cannot offer the 22-year-old Champions League football next season and it has previously been reported his final decision could be swayed by whether the Red Devils were back at Europe's top table.
