According to Fichajes, Chelsea have put both Alejandro Garnacho and Liam Delap up for sale less than a year after signing the pair. If any suitor comes close to the fees that they cost last summer, the Blues will be inclined to sell the duo. The two players cost somewhere in the region of $94.5 million (£70.1 million) combined.

According to Team Talk, manager Liam Rosenior is committed to keeping Liam Delap as part of his plans for the next season. Rosenior is happy to stand by Delap and has made it clear to the player that he remains part of his plans. The manager wants three high-quality strikers for the next season and would only approve a departure for Delap if a replacement is signed. The report lists United as keen and supports recent claims that Everton are also interested in a possible summer move.

Cundy suggested that a loan move for Liam Delap might be an option.

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior seeks a replacement for Liam Delap, a 22-year-old English centre-forward. This term, Delap has scored two goals in 21 appearances. He joined from Ipswich in June 2025, after scoring 12 Premier League goals for the club, which was relegated last season. The England U21 international has 12 caps and 3 goals for the team and is under contract until 2031. Brighton & Hove Albion, Newcastle United, and Manchester United are among several Premier League clubs that have been linked with the striker. Chelsea reportedly paid £30 million for Delap. In February 2026, it was reported that the club would demand a fee higher than that amount.
