Ivan Toney transfer saga takes yet another dramatic twist as information nobody saw coming emerges

The Brentford striker has a year left on his Bees contract and heavy speculation surrounds his future.

Ivan Toney could be on the move this summer as the Brentford striker enters the final year of his contract.

The 28-year-old joined the Bees back in 2020 from Peterborough United for around £5m and has gone on to be the London club's major goalscoring threat in that time, with 72 goals in 141 games.

Last season, Toney was restricted to only 17 games for the Bees and four strikes after he was banned from football for eight months for breaching the FA's betting rules.

Despite only featuring for the second half of last campaign, Toney was part of Gareth Southgate's 26-man England squad which reached the final of Euro 2024 in Germany.

Following the tournament, focus has now switched back to Toney's future, with his Brentford contract due to expire next summer.

This transfer window presents the last chance the Bees have to obtain a sizeable transfer fee for Toney, or he will be able to leave for free next summer, and sign pre-contract terms with a foreign club from January.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham have all been linked with a move for Toney this summer and it remains to be seen where he will be playing his football in the future.

Brentford had prepared for the impending loss of Toney through club-record signing Igor Thiago joining earlier this year from Club Brugge, only for the Brazilian to suffer a meniscus injury in a pre-season friendly.

However, a fresh twist has emerged in the race for Toney's services and perhaps explains why the saga is still ongoing.

Sky Sports reports there have been no offers yet made to Brentford for Toney, adding that Thiago's injury does not change anything regarding the club's position on the England striker.

Interestingly, it is explained that the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR) rather than any injuries are what hold the key to Toney's future.

With clubs not able to post excessive losses due to the financial restrictions without facing a points penalty, it means sides are having to be more careful with their investments in the transfer market.

And with Toney being a free agent next summer, it is suggested many more teams would be interested in his services if they do not have to pay a transfer fee.

It may well be that Toney stays puts this summer and makes a move to pastures new in 2025.
