Unbelievable New Details Emerge of Ivan Toney’s Saudi Pro League Contract
Ivan Toney’s move to Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League has been making headlines, and the latest revelations about his contract are truly staggering. The English striker was lured away from Brentford with a whopping £403,000 per week, including bonuses – a figure that would translate to a staggering £800,000 per week before tax in the UK.
To put this into perspective, Toney was previously earning a mere £36,000 per week at Brentford, meaning his new contract is a whopping 13 times his previous wage. The 28-year-old’s decision to leave the Premier League behind for a life in the Saudi Pro League has sent shockwaves through the football world, and it’s easy to see why.
Toney’s move to Al Ahli was completed on deadline day, and the Saudi club is looking to him to spearhead their attack alongside the likes of Roberto Firmino and Riyad Mahrez. With his impressive goal-scoring record, Toney is almost certain to thrive in his new surroundings.
As reported by The Mirror, Toney’s contract is a significant departure from the norm in the Premier League, where top players typically earn between £200,000 to £300,000 per week. However, it’s clear that Al Ahli are willing to pay top dollar to attract the best talent in the world.
Brentford, meanwhile, will be feeling the loss of their star striker, but they will also be rubbing their hands together at the £40million windfall they received from the sale. It’s a sign of the changing times in football, where top players are willing to take big risks to pursue their dreams – and the Saudi Pro League is reaping the rewards.
