Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy is set to join Kuwait FC on a free transfer, according to the Ipswich Star.
Ipswich Town are preparing for their return to the Championship after dropping from the Premier League. ITFC lasted just one season in the top flight, but intend on returning there at the first time of asking.

Kieran McKenna will be backed to lead his Town team to success in the 2025/26 campaign, but there are notable changes ahead at Portman Road.

The Tractor Boys face a fight to keep key players like Omari Hutchinson after already seeing Liam Delap depart for Chelsea. However, one key player now on the verge of a move away is captain Sam Morsy.

It has been rumoured that the Ipswich Town midfielder will move on this summer and the Ipswich Star now reports that Morsy is set to join Kuwaiti side Kuwait FC on a permanent deal.

A fee will not be demanded for the ITFC man, who is set to land lucrative personal terms. Morsy wants to remain a regular starter and with such a role not guaranteed ahead of next season as he enters the last year of his deal, a smooth exit is being facilitated.

Derby County had eyed a move to keep the 33-year-old in the Championship, but a move to the Middle East now awaits.

Sam Morsy departs Ipswich Town as a club legend
Ipswich Town signed midfielder Morsy in the summer of 2021 as they put into motion ambitious plans to rise back through the leagues. He dropped from the Championship to join them in League One and was swiftly made captain.

ITFC fell far short of their promotion goal in his maiden campaign, but they stormed to a top two finish in the 2022/23 season and then stunned everyone by winning a second consecutive promotion to the Premier League the following year.

Morsy has been a key figure throughout this rise and while the step up to the top flight perhaps proved a step too far for the Egyptian, he remained a vital leader and an influential player in the dressing room.
