As part of the deal that saw Liam Delap depart the Etihad Stadium for Ipswich last summer, Manchester City has a sizable buy-back clause on him.
After three consecutive loan stints last summer, Delap ended his affiliation with the defending Premier League champions.
He turned down a lot of attention from players throughout the league to sign a deal worth up to £20 million to join Ipswich, a recently promoted Premier League team.
In late August, the Manchester City Academy graduate scored his first goal for Kieran McKenna’s team.
He then went on to score both goals in a 2–2 home tie with Aston Villa, becoming the first player from Ipswich to score twice in a Premier League match since 2002.
Jack Gaughan of MailSport has confirmed that last summer, Manchester City officials were able to add a buy-back clause—rumoured to be worth more than £30 million—to Liam Delap’s contract with Ipswich Town.
Omar Marmoush, an Egypt international and Eintracht Frankfurt player, is expected to sign a €75 million contract to join the Premier League powerhouses in the coming days, putting City on the verge of adding players to their forward positions this month.
During a recent news conference, Pep Guardiola expressed his admiration for Delap and stated that everyone at Manchester City is pleased to see the young striker making such strides at Portman Road under Kieran McKenna.
“He’s doing fantastically! At a recent press conference, Delap stated, “A lot of players come from the academy, and they are set up perfectly in the Premier League.”
