Chelsea has informed Ipswich Town that they will meet Delap's £30m buyout clause. A medical examination for Delap is scheduled for Monday, as reported.
Key factors in the deal are Chelsea's participation in the Champions League and the presence of manager Enzo Maresca. Maresca previously worked with Delap within the City academy system.
As part of the deal, Manchester City will receive 30% of Delap's transfer fee, which was agreed upon when they sold him to Ipswich a year ago.
