Chelsea are set to lose out on Ivan Toney after Al-Ahli agreed a package with Brentford as well as personal terms with the striker.
According to HITC, Chelsea might have missed the boat on Ivan Toney following Al-Ahli’s swoop for the 28-year-old England international. The Saudi Arabian club have agreed to a fee with Brentford as well as personal terms with the striker, while there could be a connection to the Victor Osimhen deal, too.
Chelsea to miss out on Ivan Toney?
Al-Ahli are in a terrific position on the European deadline day as they have agreements in place for two of the most in-demand strikers. Having chased both Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen, the Saudi Pro League side have found agreements with the two forward both at club and personal levels.
Sticking with Ivan Toney, they have agreed a €40 million fee with Brentford and have convinced the 28-year-old England international over personal terms. As things stand, Al-Ahli are reportedly close to signing the forward, with Chelsea seemingly out of the running.
Chelsea made their move for Toney in the last days, although the report claims their offer was of a loan without a buy obligation. From Brentford’s perspective, they need the money generated from the sale, as they cannot afford to lose him for free, and the striker is eager for a new challenge, one that fulfils his ambitions on the sporting side as well as on the financial end.
Whether Al-Ahli can offer him the sporting side remains the question. But undoubtedly, they can fulfil his financial conditions with a lucrative offer over a three-year contract. Hence, while Chelsea considered a move for the 28-year-old England international, they are not in a good position to convince, as the Brentford star seems headed for an adventure in the Middle East.
Is Osimhen’s deal still active for Chelsea?
More than clarity, there is an air of confusion around Osimhen’s negotiations with Chelsea. As per reports, the Nigerian striker has agreed to personal terms, but not on the Al-Ahli sporting project, as he waits on Chelsea to make an improved offer on salary and contract.
Whether the Blues are in a position to make an improved offer remains the question, as they are also looking at alternatives like Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran. It is a game of patience for Chelsea in their bid to land a top-draw striker, with Osimhen still their priority target, as things could move quickly, while there are doubts whether Al-Ahli will land both the Nigerian and the England international.
