£60M Premier League Top striker has told friends and England teammates he wants to join Man United
Brentford striker Ivan Toney has told friends he wants to join Manchester United, according to a new report.
Due to his contract expiring in a year and his refusal to sign an extension despite numerous offers, it is widely anticipated that the England player would depart the Bees this summer.
Moving on now, at the ripe age of 28, instead of waiting a year, makes sense for the organization and the player.
But in a severely deflated market, the London club, who previously rated him at £90 million, must be far more reasonable in their asking price.
As Euro 24 has progressed, there have been few credible reports regarding Toney’s next move; nonetheless, his departure is now anticipated to pick up speed.
As HITC reports, “Toney has been looked at closely by the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Manchester United, but as yet, nobody has been willing to step up.”
In fact, it was reported yesterday that having signed Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna, United are unlikely to pursue a deal for Toney unless significant player sales are made.
It is perhaps this last report that has inspired Toney to try to issue a subtle “come and get me” plea to the Red Devils.
According to Football Insider’s sources, “Toney has told friends he’s keen to join Man United this summer.”
The outlet furthermore claims that “the 28-year-old striker has also shared the same sentiment with his England teammates while away on international duty this summer.”
