Previously, multiple sources told BBC Sport that Delap was expected to be available for £40m in the summer - with his previous club Manchester City holding a 'buy-back' fee at that price.

City had a £40m buy-back agreement on Delap when they sold him to Ipswich last summer.

City are notoriously prudent at inserting clauses into sales to ensure they get sell-on value and there will definitely be a buy-back clause in the contract too, although how much it is, is difficult to say.

According to CalRecycle’s report, about 85% of CRV collection in 2022 was done at buy-back centers or recycling centers.

BBC Sport understands Manchester City have a 50% sell-on clause and a buy-back option.
