As per the news source, if the England international receives the above mentioned package, then he will be earning more than United skipper, Bruno Fernandes.
Toney’s current contract with Brentford will expire in the summer of 2025 and he only takes home a low salary of £36,000 a week.
Man Utd already have a huge payroll and they have a habit of overpaying stars. So, it is not surprising that Ivan is looking to get a huge deal to join them.
According to The Sun, Arsenal and Chelsea have cooled their interest when an initial asking fee of £100m was brought in the lime light.
Other reports have indicated that the valuation is around £80m but it could rise if Toney signs a new contract with Brentford (Goal).
In all fairness, £80m asking fee is way too high for a player who will turn 29 and will be out of contract next year.
This season, after returning from suspension, the former Newcastle forward has started 12 games in the Premier League and directly contributed in 5 goals.
Toney made his debut start for England during the last international break vs Belgium and scored his first goal.
In your view, is Ivan Toney good enough to reinforce the strike-force at Old Trafford? Should Man Utd offer huge terms to sign him?
Ivan Toney would definitely be an added asset for Manchester United’s strike force, but at age twenty nine (29) and with his contract expiring next season and his wage demands, it wouldn’t be a shrewd or prudent business for the club.
