Ryan One’s Sheffield United wage and the hike he could expect joining Ipswich Town
Sheffield United forward Ryan Oné has been linked with a move to Ipswich Town this summer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Tractor Boys are interested in the 18-year-old as a potential replacement for Liam Delap.
The Guardian have reported that Delap is attracting interest from both Chelsea and Manchester United amid a £30 million release clause that’s triggered if Ipswich are relegated.
If the forward departs, then a pursuit of Oné could be on the cards after his breakout into the Sheffield United first team squad under Chris Wilder.
Here we use estimated figures from Capology to look at how Oné’s wages might change should he make the move to Portman Road this summer…

Oné made the move to Bramall Lane from Scottish side Hamilton Academical in 2023, and earned his way into the first-team squad during the club’s time back in the Premier League last year.
The forward made one appearance in the Premier League last year, earning his debut against Arsenal off the bench in one of Paul Heckingbottom’s final games in charge.
Following the move to English football, Oné was given a contract worth £1,000 per week that runs until the summer of 2029.
Of the players in the Sheffield United first team squad this season, the 18-year-old has the lowest wage, which is unsurprising given how far down the pecking order he is.
| Sheffield United’s top 5 earners (estimated figures from Capology) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Player | Weekly salary (£) | ||
| Rhian Brewster | 35,000 | ||
| Anel Ahmedhodzic | 30,000 | ||
| Gustavo Hamer | 30,000 | ||
| Vini Souza | 30,000 | ||
| Tom Davies | 30,000 | ||
The player is also still in the early stages of his career, and thus cannot command the kind of wage that would compare with teammates like Tom Cannon, Kieffer Moore or Rhian Brewster.
The highest paid player in the squad is Brewster, who earns £35,000 per week.
If Oné is going to remain a Sheffield United player, then a pay raise may be needed to convince him to turn down any potential interest from Ipswich.
But his contract running until 2029 does give the Blades a strong negotiating position this summer, as there will be no immediate need to cash in.
