Chelsea set asking price to sell Liam Delap
August 16, 2026 00:10
Chelsea have put a price on striker Liam Delap as they look to move him on this summer, according to talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook, reporting via EyeFootball. The Blues have reportedly received an approach from Italian side Como, who are said to be interested after completing the Trevoh Chalobah signing from Chelsea.
The club’s asking figure for Delap is reported at £40 million. The forward is understood to favour staying in the Premier League and is reportedly prepared to wait for top‑flight offers before deciding on any move.
KEY CONTEXT
- The Delap valuation and the Como approach are presented as reports attributed to talkSPORT’s Alex Crook.
- Como’s interest follows their recent acquisition of Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea, a transfer EyeFootball notes in the same report.
- Chelsea are also linked with selling Nicolas Jackson, with an alleged £60m asking price and no suitable bids reported so far.
WHY IT MATTERS
A confirmed sale of Delap would represent a notable outgoing for Chelsea’s forward options and a cash‑in strategy by the club this window, while a move to Como would continue the Italian side’s recruitment from Chelsea. Delap’s stated preference to remain in the Premier League could affect whether interested overseas clubs can secure him this summer. The situation around Nicolas Jackson suggests Chelsea are placing significant monetary valuations on their attacking assets more broadly.
WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
- Whether Como progress their interest and can persuade Delap to move, given his reported preference to stay in England.
- Any Premier League offers for Delap that may emerge while he waits for top‑flight options.
- Whether Chelsea receive bids meeting the reported £60m asking price for Nicolas Jackson.
- Developments ahead of Chelsea’s new season opener against Fulham and before the transfer window closes on September 1, 2026.
