Ipswich Town Warns Off Potential Buyers: Jaden Philogene Is Not for Sale
Ipswich Town has issued a strong warning to potential buyers, stating that winger Jaden Philogene is not for sale. The Tractor Boys have been linked with interest from Premier League side AFC Bournemouth, who are looking to replace outgoing striker Antoine Semenyo. However, Ipswich Town is adamant that Philogene is a crucial player for their automatic promotion bid and will not be sold without a hefty price tag.
According to Ipswich fan pundit Adam, the club believes Philogene’s value is tied to the team’s promotion chances, which could be worth £100m or more. “I agree with the ‘not-for-sale’ message from Ipswich Town, given the price that we signed him for,” Adam said. “I think his goals this season have been worth their weight in gold, and in the second half of the season, that could be the difference between automatic promotion and the playoffs.”
Philogene has been in outstanding form for Ipswich, showcasing his talent and ability to win games. The winger joined Ipswich in January 2025 for £20 million prior to their relegation from the Premier League, and he has been a key player for the team ever since. Ipswich Town believes that keeping Philogene on board is crucial to their promotion chances, and they will not sell him without a significant offer.
£50m Price Tag
According to Adam, Ipswich Town would require a minimum of £50m to consider selling Philogene. “I mean, probably 50, anything that basically prices clubs out of realistically wanting to sign him,” Adam said. “So yeah, £50m, £50m minimum.” This price tag is likely to deter potential buyers, and Ipswich Town is confident that keeping Philogene on board will be worth more than any transfer fee.
Ipswich Town’s Promotion Chances
Ipswich Town’s determination to keep Philogene is driven by their desire to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League. The team has been in excellent form, and their underlying statistics suggest they are top of the league. They’ve already proven themselves against league leaders Coventry City, beating them 3-0 at home and 2-0 away.
The second half of the season presents a real opportunity for Ipswich Town to capitalize on their mistakes and climb the league. Philogene will be key to Ipswich’s efforts, and keeping him at the club could well earn promotion in itself. With the talent and ability to win games, Philogene’s value to Ipswich Town cannot be overstated.
Conclusion
Ipswich Town’s warning to potential buyers is clear: Jaden Philogene is not for sale without a significant offer. The club believes that keeping Philogene on board is crucial to their promotion chances, and they will not sell him without a hefty price tag. With Philogene’s talent and ability to win games, Ipswich Town is confident that keeping him on board will be worth more than any transfer fee.
