Lennon Miller 'rejects' Ipswich Town as Motherwell star zeroes in on blockbuster £4.5m Udinese transfer
Lennon Miller is on his way to Italy to complete a big money move to Udinese.
We told you last night how Motherwell and the Serie A side were locked in talks over the Scotland international.
He has now been snapped at Glasgow Airport ahead of a club record deal for the Fir Park side - one that would eclipse the fee that took David Turnbull to Celtic.
But in a fresh twist the Scottish Sun are reporting that he rejected advances from Ipswich Town in favour of a move abroad for a fee in the region of £4.75million - with that number potentially rising further depending on certain add-ons in the agreement.
They claim the Tractor Boys - looking to return to the English Premier League at the first time of asking - were the only other team to put an official offer on the table to club chiefs at Fir Park.
However, the 18-year-old has his heart set on following the likes of Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour and Lewis Ferguson to the continent.
Torino were also said to be keen according to the same publication but failed to make an offer before Udinese got the green light.
The Scotland cap was left out of the weekend draw with St Mirren as the Steelmen made it two draws from the opening two games after holding Rangers on the opening weekend.
Speaking about Miller ahead of that game in Paisley, boss Jens Berthel Askou said: "Yes, it was a final call with everything taken into consideration.
"It's not a secret that there are things going on in the background. We know he's been out for four weeks.
"How much risk are you willing to take on a player like him in that situation? The decision was that we kept him out of it."

Scotland's Robert MacIntyre holds three-shot lead at BMW Championship
The Scot was among the later starters that got to take advantage of softer conditions after a two-hour rain delay, with darkness preventing Bud Cauley from completing his opening round. MacIntyre, who is on the verge of joining Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose in qualifying for Europe's Ryder Cup team, finished with six successive birdies and carded 10 in total against two bogeys. Career-low 62Career-best six birdies in a rowFirst round leader by three strokes Have yourself a day, Robert MacIntyre‼️ — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) August 15, 2025 The highlight of the left-hander's day came when he holed a 66-foot effort for birdie at the 13th to spark his spectacular finish. 'The last six holes is probably as good as I've ever putted in a stretch of holes – just so consistent,' said MacIntyre. 'When you get the eye on, it's free flowing, and it's nice. 'I feel like the way I play golf is better suited for the tougher tests, where you're rewarded for hitting a fairway, you're rewarded for hitting a green, and then take your chances with the putter. Just happy with today's work.' MacIntyre leads by three from England's Fleetwood, whose wait for a first PGA Tour title goes on after he was pipped by Rose at the St Jude Classic last week. Scottie Scheffler's hot streak continued as he fired an opening 66 to lie third. The world number one finished with three birdies in the final four holes to top the early leaderboard at the second FedEx Cup event. Scheffler, who has registered 12 successive top-eight finishes in a scintillating year, said on Sky Sports: 'It changed pretty significantly, a lot softer. The fairways were a little bit harder to hit this morning. 'They're still pretty wide, but they were still with the firmness, challenging to hit. And then with the softness coming in with the rain, the golf course got significantly easier.' Scheffler was playing with Masters champion Rory McIlroy, who carded a level-par 70. The Northern Irishman, who skipped last week's FedEx Cup event knowing he is guaranteed to be in next week's Tour Championship, had a slow start, with three bogeys in the opening six holes, but battled back.
