Regardless of what Ipswich Town's situation entails come the end of the gruelling Premier League campaign, there are a number of key players who could soon be heading for the exit door in search of glamorous pastures away from Suffolk.
Liam Delap is the obvious name that springs to mind, with the ex-Manchester City striker being tipped to move away from Portman Road for a high £40m amidst interest from the likes of Newcastle United, having bagged a superb ten top-flight strikes this season.

This would make Ipswich some significant profit, considering he was only picked up for £20m last summer, with Delap's name potentially topping the most expensive departures in the club's history list consequently.
The Tractor Boys have been here before when it comes to selling on a promising asset for big bucks, with Kieran McKenna and Co initially hurting from the potential departure, but then will bounce back as the club have done in the past.
The most notable sales in Ipswich's recent history
Of course, a lot of Ipswich's notable sales in recent years have come about when they were languishing in the EFL, with £40m an unheard-of figure competing in the lower depths of the Championship and League One.
But, the Suffolk side would have still been pleased with themselves when they let centre-back star Tyrone Mings join AFC Bournemouth for £8m back in 2015.

After all, Ipswich had acquired the services of Mings for just £10k in December of 2012, having seen lots of promise from the young defender when he was previously on the books of non-league Chippenham Town.
This isn't the only time Ipswich have sold on a promising youngster for a hefty amount, with former youth product Connor Wickham leaving Suffolk behind for Sunderland for a fee around the £8.1m mark in 2012, after scoring 15 goals for the Tractor Boys from 72 appearances.

Delap might well eclipse that amount before he then heads on a new mission, but he isn't the only star in McKenna's current camp that could make his club a fortune.

McKenna has been loyal to a number of stalwarts that have been with the club since their days in League One, with Sam Morsy still gaining first-team minutes here and there this season, alongside the likes of Nathan Broadhead and Conor Chaplin.
But, the one who has oozed the most class since making the step-up has been Leif Davis, with the deal to pick up the ex-Leeds United man for just £1m continuing to look like a masterstroke of a decision.
The left-sided "animal" - as he was labelled in the past by ex-boss Scott Parker - has picked up a breathtaking 48 goals and assists from 117 total games, with four of those contributions coming as Davis took the leap up to the daunting top flight.
Off the back of his continued excellence, the 25-year-old's transfer value has soared way above the price the Whites let him leave for, with his valuation now currently standing at a bumper £21m as per Transfermarkt. Amazingly, that is a gigantic 2000% increase from his previous £1m price tag.

That ever-rising amount - with Davis worth a lesser £12.5m just last November - means he is the club's current biggest asset away from Delap, with the sale of both of these stars this summer a disaster in the making.

Ipswich will be boosted by the fact the ex-Leeds man did sign a new deal in October of 2024 but will feel they could be ultimately powerless, especially if a higher-up suitor waves around lots of cash for Davis.
