Brentford’s Ivan Toney Set to Make Big Move to Saudi Pro League
The 2024/25 summer transfer window has been a whirlwind for Brentford’s Ivan Toney, with the striker linked to several top clubs in the Premier League and abroad. And now, it appears that his future has finally been resolved.
According to reports, Brentford have accepted a staggering €42million bid from Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli for the Englishman. This news comes as no surprise, given Toney’s impressive form on the pitch and the significant wage package reportedly offered to him by Al-Ahli.
The 26-year-old has been a target for the Saudi club throughout the window, and it’s easy to see why. Toney’s goal-scoring prowess and ability to dominate opposition defenses would be a massive boost to Al-Ahli’s title ambitions.
But, just when it seemed like Toney was set to make the move to the Middle East, doubts were raised over the deal. Chelsea, who have been tracking the striker all summer, reportedly expressed interest in bringing Toney to Stamford Bridge. This left Toney with a tough decision to make.
In the end, it seems that Toney has opted for the lucrative offer from Al-Ahli. And, with Brentford’s acceptance of the bid, it’s likely that we’ll see the striker depart Griffin Park in the coming days.
This news has significant implications for both Brentford and Al-Ahli. For the Bees, it means losing a key player, but also the opportunity to bring in some much-needed funds. For Al-Ahli, it’s a major coup to land a player of Toney’s caliber, and a significant statement of intent for the Saudi Pro League.
