Liam Delap

In February 2026, reports suggested Chelsea would demand a fee higher than the £30 million (~€35.5M) they paid for the player, while his Transfermarkt value was listed as €35M. This followed his completed transfer from Ipswich Town to Chelsea in June 2025 for a fee widely reported as £30 million (variously cited as €35M, €35.5M, or €36M), which activated a release clause. At that time, his market value was reported by Transfermarkt to be €40M. Earlier in 2025, Ipswich's asking price was reportedly £40 million (~€47M), the same figure as a reported Manchester City buy-back clause. He was previously transferred from Manchester City U21 to Ipswich in July 2024 for a reported €17.9M.

Our valuation for Liam Delap is anchored by his recent transfer from Ipswich to Chelsea in June 2025 for approximately €35.5 million. Despite a difficult start to his Chelsea career, reports in February 2026 indicate the club would seek a fee higher than their initial investment. Given his long contract and continued interest from other Premier League clubs, we estimate his value remains close to the fee paid, though a premium is unlikely given his current form.
