Liam Delap's agent criticises Chelsea for the €10 million asking price and demands the striker be loaned out for free.

The agent of Liam Delap has taken issue with Chelsea, as reported by BBC Sport. The frustration stems from the club's apparent readiness to move on from the player a mere year after his arrival, while also setting exorbitant terms for his exit.

Those close to the forward regard the buyout sum and the €10 million loan fee as entirely out of step with the current market conditions. The agent argues that these demands are particularly baseless given Delap’s lacklustre performance during the previous season.

Seeking an urgent face-to-face with Chelsea's sporting directors, the agent's primary aim is to convince the club to soften their financial stance and allow Liam Delap to embark on a free loan for a year. This move would provide the young talent with much-needed game time to rejuvenate his career.
