Man United Monitors £70m Transfer Target Ivan Toney Pursued by Arsenal and Chelsea

Manchester United could potentially join Chelsea and Arsenal in the race to secure the signature of Brentford striker Ivan Toney during the upcoming summer transfer window. The talented forward, who is currently enjoying a successful season with Brentford, will have one year remaining on his contract by the end of the current season, making him a prime target for clubs looking to bolster their attacking options.

The Brentford star recently made a comeback in January after an eight-month ban and has already netted four goals in just ten appearances this season. His impressive performance has not gone unnoticed, with the player set to make his debut for the England national team in Tuesday’s friendly match against Belgium. Toney’s aspirations also include earning a spot in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the upcoming European Championships.

Brentford values Ivan Toney at around £80 million, making him a sought-after player in the transfer market. With only one year left on his current deal, it is expected that the Bees will look to cash in on the 28-year-old striker in the upcoming transfer window, as he will be free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with other clubs starting in January 2025.

Manchester United is looking to strengthen their attacking options, especially with the impending departure of Anthony Martial, whose contract is set to expire this summer. United has heavily relied on Rasmus Hojlund this season, and they are planning to bring in a new striker to bolster their squad.

While Chelsea and Arsenal have already expressed interest in Ivan Toney, well-known transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has indicated that Manchester United is also considering the possibility of making a move for the forward. Romano stated, ‘It’s just one of the options to be considered and discussed internally.

Man United is still in the early stages of the process to decide which striker they want to sign; experienced or young. Talks are going to take place internally, Toney will be one of the names available on the market so could be one to watch.’

As the summer transfer window approaches, the race for Ivan Toney’s signature is heating up, with top clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal all vying for the opportunity to secure the services of the prolific forward.
