Delap is being made available for loan and has been linked with a return to former club Derby County.

However, Football Insider via TMW says Anderlecht boss Vincent Kompany has made contact with his former club about bringing Delap to Belgium.

Kompany leaned on former City striker Lukas Nmecha last season before his sale to VfL Wolfsburg. Nmecha was outstanding for the Belgians, though ruled out signing permanently after they missed out on Champions League qualification. He was subsequently sold by City to Wolfsburg.

Delap, meanwhile, signed a new contract to 2026 with City last week. He has tasted first team action under City manager Pep Guardiola, including in the Premier League. He is currently an England U18 international.
