Man United agree transfer fee to sign Chelsea major transfer target as the Striker lands in Manchester to complete medical- Club statement ready and squad number confirmed.
Ivan Toney’s potential transfer to Chelsea might be in jeopardy as Manchester United is reportedly preparing an unexpected late bid for the Brentford striker. Brentford is eager to finalize Toney’s sale by the end of the week, with both top Premier League clubs and Saudi Arabian teams expressing interest. Despite Chelsea’s considerable spending during the summer transfer window, they are now weighing the possibility of making an offer for Toney, aiming to secure him at a lower cost.
With just a year left on Toney’s contract, Brentford is looking to maximize his value before he could leave on a free transfer. Initially, Brentford valued Toney at over £100 million, but they are now believed to be willing to accept around £40 million, which has renewed Chelsea’s hopes of striking a deal at a more affordable price, according to *The Express*.
However, Manchester United’s involvement has complicated the situation. As reported by *The Evening Standard*, United has entered the race for Toney at the last minute and is currently in discussions with the striker, who appears eager to leave Brentford. This surprising twist could derail Chelsea’s plans and intensify the battle for Toney’s signature.
