Fabrizio Romano has provided his latest transfer update with some interesting information involving Liverpool.
The summer plans at Anfield will be heavily influenced by the unresolved contract situations of three cornerstone players.
Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all enter the final months of their current deals, creating an unprecedented scenario where Liverpool could lose three world-class talents simultaneously.
This contractual backdrop has compelled Liverpool’s recruitment team to develop contingency plans for several positions, making a busy window inevitable regardless of whether these stars recommit to the club.
Beyond the contract situations, Liverpool appears prepared to sanction several significant departures to create both squad space and financial flexibility. Darwin Núñez, the club’s record £85 million signing, leads the list of likely exits after failing to deliver consistent performances despite his undeniable work rate.
Other potential departures include goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, who seeks regular starting opportunities, along with Federico Chiesa, Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott, and potentially Diogo Jota.
Meanwhile, Alexander Isak has been touted as a possible marquee Liverpool signing, but the player has distanced himself from transfer talk in recent weeks.
Now Fabrizio Romano has hinted that Liverpool are looking at an Alexander Isak alternative in the meanwhile.
The Italian transfer guru, writing in his latest newsletter for Give Me Sport, revealed that ‘all’ Premier League sides on the hunt for a striker are keeping tabs on Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap:
“He’s on Chelsea’s list for sure, let’s see if more clubs join or not. All Premier League clubs looking for a striker are monitoring him but at the moment nothing concrete yet.”
What is clear is that Liverpool are certainly among the Premier League clubs looking for a striker, so it’s fair to say that the Anfield club do have some sort of interest in Delap.
The 22-year-old striker has netted 10 goals and provided 2 assists in 30 appearances, showcasing remarkable efficiency for a struggling side currently sitting 18th in the table.
Delap’s physicality and finishing ability mark him as the archetype No.9 profile – sometimes a profile rare to find in modern football.
Some speculative reports from Spain have likewise linked the Manchester City youth product to Anfield.
