Ipswich Town Target Manchester City Forward Divin Mubama Amid Competition from Lille

Ipswich Town are talking with Manchester City about signing young striker Divin Mubama. They want to improve their team for the new season. French team Lille is also interested, making it a tough race to sign the talented player.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ipswich Town asked Manchester City about Divin Mubama to learn about the transfer terms. Manchester City want £10 million for Mubama, showing they value his talent. Along with Ipswich, Lille from Ligue 1 are also serious about signing him. This could lead to a transfer battle between the two clubs in the coming weeks.

IPSWICH’S AMBITIONS FOR NEXT SEASON

After getting relegated from the Premier League, Ipswich Town are rebuilding their team for a quick comeback to the top league. They need to improve their attack, and Mubama could bring speed and scoring ability. Last season, they were inconsistent, finishing just below safety. They are currently three spots above the bottom of the Championship table, starting the new season slowly. Their next game is an important one against Coventry City, who are aiming for the play-offs, as Ipswich are three points behind the safety line and only two points ahead of bottom side Bristol City.

WHAT NEXT IN THE TRANSFER RACE?

In the coming weeks, Ipswich are likely to push harder to sign Mubama. They want to persuade him and Manchester City with their offer and project. Lille, who finished in the top half of Ligue 1 and are in European qualification, add pressure with their interest. Mubama’s decision will depend on the final offers and roles from both clubs, while Manchester City aren’t lowering their price. If Ipswich sign Mubama, he could join before their next game, providing a boost as they try to avoid the lower end of the Championship table.
