Liverpool chooses Darwin Núñez's replacement and goes for his signing.

Liverpool is already planning a key move to bolster their frontline in the upcoming summer transfer window. With the departure of Darwin Núñez almost certain, the Reds have shifted their focus to Liam Delap, a 22-year-old forward from Ipswich Town, with whom they have already begun discussions. However, they are not alone in the race as Chelsea and Manchester United have also shown interest in signing the English attacker.

Delap, who came through the ranks at Manchester City, failed to cement his place in the first team and eventually found his form at Ipswich Town. This season, he has performed admirably, scoring 10 goals and providing 2 assists in 28 Premier League matches. His ability to play as a center forward has attracted interest from several top clubs who see him as a future option to lead their attacks.

Chelsea, having unsuccessfully attempted to sign Victor Osimhen, continues their search for a goal-scorer and has identified Delap as a viable alternative. Similarly, Manchester United is in a similar situation due to the inconsistency of their current forwards, Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee.

Following Núñez's departure, Liverpool aims to fill the void with a young forward with potential. The club's management has already made contact with Delap's representatives to assess his availability and the conditions for a potential transfer.

Ipswich Town, aware of the interest generated in their player, has set an asking price of around £40 million for his transfer. Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United are expected to have the resources to facilitate the deal, leading to a fierce competition for the English forward.

While the current season is ongoing, Delap remains focused on his team, but his future seems to lie away from Ipswich. In the coming weeks, it is anticipated that the interested clubs will hasten negotiations to secure his signing before the start of the next season.
