Chelsea and Nottingham Forest negotiate for Liam Delap
According to Nicolò Schira, Chelsea has opened talks to sign striker Liam Delap, currently at Manchester City. Fabrizio Romano also confirms negotiations between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.
Chelsea FC is in negotiations to sign striker Liam Delap, 23 years old, who currently plays for Manchester City. According to Nicolò Schira, talks have opened as Delap is no longer a central figure in Xabi Alonso's plans.
Delap, an English centre-forward, has a market value of €28 million and his contract with Manchester City runs until June 30, 2031. His arrival could strengthen Chelsea's attack, which is looking for alternatives to improve its offensive performance.
Fabrizio Romano has also reported that Nottingham Forest is in direct contact with Chelsea and Delap's camp to finalize the deal. This indicates that there is interest from multiple clubs in the player, which could complicate negotiations for Chelsea.
Both sources agree that negotiations are ongoing, although no final agreement has been reached yet. The situation remains in development, and further progress is expected in the coming days.
