In Football League World’s ‘The Verdict’ series, our writers provide their personal opinions on the latest news in the football world. Ipswich Town has reportedly made a double bid of £35 million for Hull City’s Jaden Philogene and Jacob Greaves.
Reports suggest that Ipswich is aiming to strengthen their team for potential Premier League competitiveness after securing promotion. Philogene and Greaves played key roles for Hull City last season, but with missed opportunities for promotion, their future at the club is uncertain.
Some sources claim Barcelona has shown interest in Philogene with a loan offer, but Ipswich is eager to secure both players ahead of top-flight clubs. Our writers discuss whether a £30 million offer is fair for the duo and if Hull should consider cashing in on them this summer.
If Hull City can get a bit more for their valuable players, it could help in investing in strengthening the squad for the upcoming season. While Ipswich’s offer is substantial, other established Premier League clubs may also be interested in acquiring the talents of Philogene and Greaves.
Ultimately, the decision on whether to accept Ipswich’s offer or hold out for a potentially better deal will be crucial for both Hull and the players’ future in the transfer window.
