According to reports, Manchester City is considering letting go of one of their young players on the roster.
Manchester City’s recent summer business has thrived from selling young talent. Notable players like Gavin Bazunu, Romeo Lavia, Cole Palmer, and James Trafford have moved on from Pep Guardiola’s team.
City is ready to offload 21-year-old Liam Delap, according to The Sun (09/06/2024, page 55). Rumors suggest that City plans to sell Delap to an unnamed Premier League club. This move aims to address their ongoing Profit and Sustainability Rules issues.
Delap, praised by Guardiola as “unique,” is a homegrown player, making his sale a pure profit under current regulations, per the Manchester Evening News.
While Delap has struggled to make a significant impact on loan at Hull City, Stoke City, and Preston North End, he has shown promise, particularly in a 2-1 Carabao Cup victory against Bournemouth.
City will be hoping they do not regret this potential sale. Despite Delap’s challenging loan spells, his physicality, determination, and goal-scoring ability could shine at a Premier League club.
Manchester City, known for their talent scouting, likely feels confident internally about this decision.
