Delap with a £40m release if Ipswich is relegated

All that's left for PL relegation is which players might be signed for next season.

Ipswich. Delap is the obvious one. Probably Hutchinson. Possibly Szomdics.
Southampton. Dibling wlll be in demand. Maybe Ramsdale and Harwood Bellis.
Leicester. El Khannouss and Ndidi?

When Madrid comes calling you just accept they are going mate.

**** Madrid - just a cup team

I guess you also get to live in Madrid instead of Merseyside, so there's that too.

Trent won't be able to live in Madrid after Raphinha destroys him in an El Clasico. Madrid fans will be chasing him out of the city.

With Real Madrid winning 3 CL titles every five years these days, TAA would be foolish not to play for them.

they've still never won the treble

I really don’t think any footballer goes to a club based on how likely that club is to win the treble.

Real Madrid are more of a treble chance every season than most clubs.

In fact, the only thing that seems to prevent them from winning the treble is the Copa Del Rey, which they have won once in the last 11 years. They’ve won the league/CL double three times in that period. Crazy.

He's going there to win the Balon D'or. Foolish.

Would he even be top 5 at Madrid?

The difference between Wirtz and MGW is very large.

Lol, what a weird combo.

Makes it less complicated that City only have a sell on clause

City could get up to some shenanigans. Outbid other clubs - say £70m over £65m. But it's effectively only £56m. Then sell him on for £65m.

Not really, Delap will choose where he wants to go and that'll be it.

Unlikely

Why when the clause is 30m?

but by paying 30mil we would then get him for 24 mil.

It's the same as Villa buying Philogene back. They didn't offer us 30m they offered us the same as Ipswich. Why would they pay more than they need to..

 

[Cruyff14]

Looks like Salah and van Dijk are staying. Huge stuff.

You're probably right. I was thinking the release clause £30m was the minimum and clubs could outbid each other to get him. It's more likely the transfer fee will be £30m and he'll negotiate his real valuation into his wages.
