New details of Ivan Toney's staggering Saudi Pro League contract emerge including bonuses

Unbelievable new details have emerged of England striker Ivan Toney's contract with new club Al Ahli.

In one of the biggest moves of the summer, former Brentford star man Toney completed a deadline day transfer to Al Ahli this summer.

The 28-year-old was offered an opportunity to stay within the Premier League and join Chelsea, but was convinced instead to make the move to the Saudi club.

And now, some of the details of Toney's contract with his new club have been revealed, and they are breathtaking.

As reported by The Mirror, Toney is set to net £403,000 a week including bonuses, which would be the equivalent of earning £800,000 before tax in the UK.

At Brentford, Toney reportedly was paid £36,000 a week, meaning that his new contract will see him earn more than 13 times his wage at the London club.

Brentford received £40million for Toney, who joined the club in 2020 and scored 72 goals in 141 games.

Last season, the Englishman scored just four goals, but only made 17 appearances after he was handed an eight month ban for breaching FA gambling rules.

At Al Ahli, Toney is almost certain to improve on his already impressive goal scoring record, as he joins a formidable front line that includes Premier League greats Roberto Firmino and Riyad Mahrez.

“It’s been a pleasure to work with Ivan over the last four years,” said Brentford head coach Thomas Frank in a club statement after the transfer was confirmed.

“He has averaged more than one goal every two games, which is an unbelievable number.

“On the pitch, he has been a fantastic goalscorer, link-up player and leader. He has pushed the team, the squad and himself.”

Frank added: “It’s a wonderful journey that we have been on together. Ivan helped the club and the team, and the club and the team have helped Ivan.

“I’m happy he has an opportunity to try something new in his life and career. We thank him for so many magic moments and wish him all the best for his next chapter. Ivan leaves as a Brentford legend.”
