Manchester United target and Brentford striker Ivan Toney reportedly wants to sign a contract with £250,000-a-week wages at his next club.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Ivan Toney is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are keen on signing another striker in the summer transfer window despite landing Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna. The Brentford attacker is thus a target, although his wage demands might play spoilsport, as he wants to pocket £250,000-a-week wages at his next club.
The rapid rise of Ivan Toney
Ivan Toney has been one of the most highly sought-after strikers in England since Brentford earned promotion to the Premier League a few years ago. The Englishman has gone from strength to strength in recent seasons, although a betting ban threatened to derail his progress.
The 28-year-old has turned out nearly 150 times thus far for Brentford while amassing 72 goals and 23 assists. However, Toney faces an uncertain future at the West London club after entering the final 12 months of his contract. Recent reports have claimed that the player does not want to sign a new contract at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Meanwhile, Ivan Toney’s situation at Brentford has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Many Premier League outfits, in particular, are keen on signing the England international in a cut-price move in the summer transfer window, with Manchester United among his prospective suitors.
Manchester United interested in Toney
Manchester United’s interest in Ivan Toney is understandable. The Red Devils are keen on signing another striker in the summer transfer window despite securing Joshua Zirkzee’s services a few days ago. The Brentford attacker has thus emerged as a viable target for Manchester United.
Recent reports have claimed that the 28-year-old wants to join Manchester United in the summer transfer window. However, Ivan Toney’s wage demands might play spoilsport, as he wants to pocket £250,000-a-week wages at his next club.
With the England international likely to join Manchester United as a rotation option, the Red Devils will unlikely offer him a contract with £250,000-a-week wages. So, it will be interesting to see if Toney agrees to a compromise or retains his excessive salary demands.
