Despite a quieter transfer window compared to last year’s spending spree, the Saudi Pro League’s ambition remains strong. While no megastars joined this year, significant signings like Ivan Toney and Joao Cancelo signal continued investment in the league, aiming to attract top talent and further enhance its competitiveness.
England striker Ivan Toney has moved to the Saudi Pro League, joining Al-Ahli from Brentford in a permanent transfer for a reported £40 million. Toney, a key figure in Brentford’s promotion to the Premier League, was banned for eight months last season due to betting rule violations. The 28-year-old, who scored 72 goals in 141 appearances for Brentford, has also played for England.
Brentford striker Ivan Toney was left out of the squad for their season opener against Crystal Palace, raising speculation about a potential transfer. Manager Thomas Frank hinted at ongoing transfer activity involving Toney, who has been linked with several top Premier League clubs.
With Euro 2024 just around the corner, players will be keen to take advantage of the major tournament to prove their worth and potentially earn a big move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs. Here are some of the players who could be on the move after Euro 2024.
GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed that Manchester United have ‘reservations’ about signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney in the 2024 summer transfer window. The Red Devils have endured a challenging season in front of goal, leading them to consider bolstering their attacking options. However, after conducting ‘further explorations’ into Toney, United now have doubts about the transfer. Despite Toney’s impressive return to action after an eight-month suspension for breaking gambling rules, sources indicate that United are hesitant to pursue him. The 28-year-old’s contract at Brentford expires in just over a year, prompting speculation that the Bees may seek to sell him before losing him for free in 2025. While Toney has previously been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea, sources suggest that Arsenal’s interest has waned, while it remains unclear whether Chelsea still considers him a target.
