🔵 Chelsea Go All-In for Liam Delap as Fabrizio Romano Reveals “Priority” Transfer is Nearing Completion
After lifting the Conference League trophy in a dramatic 4-1 turnaround against Real Betis, Chelsea have wasted no time shifting focus to their summer overhaul—with transfer maestro Fabrizio Romano confirming that Liam Delap is now the club’s striker transfer priority.
“Chelsea are pushing and insisting for Liam Delap as PRIORITY,” Romano revealed. “Chelsea have others like Hugo Etikike on the list if Delap deal collapses. Chelsea are waiting for his decision but remember, they can offer Champions League Football, Manchester United cannot.”
Yes, you read that right—Manchester United are in the rearview mirror here, as Chelsea dangle that all-important Champions League carrot.
🎯 Delap in the Crosshairs
The Ipswich Town forward, who impressed in the Championship this season, is at the center of a transfer tug-of-war, but Chelsea are pulling hard to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
Insiders close to the deal believe it’s “pretty close now to being done.” And with Romano hinting the situation is further ahead than most suspect, fans might want to keep a bottle of champagne chilling.
💫 Palmer’s Party, Maresca’s Message
Chelsea’s Conference League win was spearheaded by none other than Cole Palmer, who turned on the style with two sublime assists in the second half. But even with European silverware and a Champions League ticket secured, head coach Enzo Maresca is keeping expectations grounded:
“We are not targeting the Champions League title next season,” he insisted after the final whistle.
A reality check? Maybe. But with a hungry young striker like Delap potentially on board, who’s to say how high the Blues could fly?
