Delap's release clause dropped from £40m to £30m after their return to the Championship was confirmed at St James' Park on Saturday after their 3-0 defeat to Champions League hopefuls Newcastle United. Several top sides are said to be interested in the 22-year-old who will demand a major pay rise if he does make the move.
As reported by Chronicle Live, it is understood that Delap would be wanting a wage between £120,000 and £150,000 per week should he leave Ipswich Town this summer. This seems more than reasonable for a player after a breakthrough season where he netted 12 goals and provided two assists across 33 top-flight appearances for a newly promoted side.
Liam Delap is expected to ask for eye watering wages of between £120,000 to £150,000 per week in any talks with interested clubs. Newcastle would have to think long and hard about making the 22-year-old one of our top earners for a back up to Alexander Isak.
