Ipswich Town have been active in the summer 2025 transfer window following their immediate relegation from the Premier League. The club has begun reshaping the squad, most notably with the signing of experienced goalkeeper David Button on a free transfer from Reading, and the addition of versatile veteran Ashley Young on a one-year deal after his departure from Everton[1][6].

Significant departures include key players such as Liam Delap (sold to Chelsea for £30 million), defenders Cameron Burgess and Axel Tuanzebe, and most recently the influential midfielder and double promotion-winning captain Sam Morsy, who left for Kuwait SC[1][7]. Fan favourite Massimo Luongo has also exited the club, joining Millwall[1].

The club’s transfer business so far includes:

  • In: David Button (Reading, free), Azor Matusiwa (Rennes, £10m), Cedric Kipre (Reims, loan), Ashley Young (Everton, free)
  • Out: Liam Delap (Chelsea, £30m), Cameron Burgess (Swansea City, free), Marcus Harness (Huddersfield, free), Axel Tuanzebe (Burnley, free), Sam Morsy (Kuwait SC, free), Massimo Luongo (Millwall, undisclosed)

Financially, Ipswich Town have spent £10 million while generating £30 million in player sales this summer, resulting in a net profit of £20 million[1].

Pre-season 2025 has already kicked off with a win for Ipswich Town, and early signs indicate tactical adjustments under manager Kieran McKenna. There is cautious optimism among fans regarding the squad’s top-six potential for the upcoming Championship campaign, especially if injuries can be avoided and further reinforcements are secured[2].

Off the pitch, the Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, Ipswich Town’s majority backer, is reportedly in talks to sell its stake in the club for a significant profit after four years, highlighting notable business interest in the club’s recent journey[5].
