Star now ready for Liverpool offer as release clause TRIGGERS

Liverpool can take advantage of one release clause as it triggers. The star is set up for a move to Anfield.

Liverpool have their eyes on several strikers this summer as they look to rejuvenate their forward line. Alexander Isak is perhaps at the top of that shortlist, but the Swede will cost an absolute fortune.

That's not to say that the Reds will entirely give up on Isak. They'll hope Newcastle United are willing to negotiate or lower their price when push comes to shove.

There's a need to find alternative targets, though. Hugo Ekitike is another they're considering but once again, his price is getting out of hand.

Eintracht Frankfurt, knowing full well that their star forward is viewed as the Isak 'alternative', have consistently brought their asking price up. They now reportedly want around €100m and that could climb further before the transfer window.

Alternatives for the alternative, then. Liverpool's shortlist will be extensive and at least one player on it is now confirmed as available.

Liam Delap's release clause

It's been reported recently that Liam Delap has a clause in his contract that triggers a release clause should Ipswich Town go down from the Premier League. The latter was made official on Saturday with a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United.

And so with that comes the release clause. Delap is now available for £30m and clubs can snap up an incredibly bright English talent for a bargain fee.

Liverpool are interested in the forward and we even think they might hold a couple of advantages in the race. Reports suggest Delap wants to move to a club without an established no.9, possibly ruling out Newcastle.

And he's also hoping to play in Europe next season, preferably the UEFA Champions League. Again, that puts Liverpool in a very strong position as a preferred destination.

We're not sure the forward is the Reds' first-choice option this summer. In fact, we're certain he isn't.

But if Liverpool are serious about overhaul their forward line, Delap would be a magnificent signing to completely revamp the strikers.
