Football News Update: Manchester United Bid for Brentford Striker Ivan Toney
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the football world, Manchester United have reportedly submitted a substantial opening bid for Brentford striker Ivan Toney. The 28-year-old England international has also been linked with a potential move to Arsenal.
Toney enjoyed a standout season in the Premier League last year, scoring an impressive 20 goals in 33 appearances for Brentford. However, his career was put on hold at the end of the 2023/24 campaign as he faced a nine-month ban for breaching betting rules.
Despite struggling to regain his form since returning to action, Toney has earned a place in Gareth Southgate’s final 26-man England squad for Euro 2024. The striker has fueled speculation about his future, admitting that he is “ready for a big move away from Brentford.”
“According to reports, Manchester United have ‘presented an initial offer of close to 70 million euros (£59m) to Brentford for Toney,’ who is under contract until 2025. The London club is said to have set a minimum asking price of around 70 million euros to part ways with their star striker.”
The race for Toney’s signature is heating up, with Arsenal also said to be interested in the player. Manchester United, however, have made the Brentford man their “priority target” and are determined to secure his services this summer.
As the transfer window continues to unfold, football enthusiasts eagerly await the developments surrounding Ivan Toney’s potential move to Old Trafford or elsewhere. This story is sure to captivate fans of the Premier League, Champions League, and the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament.
