Ipswich Town stands at a crossroads as the threat of relegation grows. The club may have to offload its star striker if they drop from the Premier League.
An insider has revealed that financial pressures will force tough decisions. Relegation will likely compel Ipswich to sell their most valuable asset.
Liam Delap, aged 22, has become a key figure for the side this season. He has netted 10 Premier League goals in just 24 appearances.
His tenth goal arrived during a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Aston Villa. This performance has drawn strong interest from elite clubs.

Interest from Man United and Chelsea has intensified in the transfer market. These clubs are reportedly ready to make a summer move for the striker.
Ipswich currently occupy 18th place, trailing Wolves by two points. The team battles fiercely for survival in the top flight.
Should relegation come, the club will look to cash in on Delap. A sale could generate around £20million, helping to balance their books or reinvest in the squad.
Manager Kieran McKenna remains optimistic about avoiding the drop. Meanwhile, Man City monitors Delap’s progress but will not activate the buy-back clause, choosing instead to bolster their midfield and defense after a heavy £180million January spend.
