TERMS AGREED: 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 move to Chelsea may be in jeopardy as Manchester United considers making a surprising late bid for the talented striker. Brentford, Toney’s current club, is reportedly aiming to sell him by the end of the week, drawing attention from top English Premier League teams as well as clubs in Saudi Arabia. Despite already spending heavily during the summer transfer window, Chelsea is still contemplating making an offer for Toney, believing they might secure a deal for him at a lower price than expected.

Toney, who has only one year left on his contract with Brentford, represents a significant opportunity for the club to cash in before his contract runs out. Initially, Brentford was holding out for over £100 million for their star player earlier this year, but now they are reportedly willing to accept around £40 million. This substantial reduction in the asking price has given Chelsea hope that they could land Toney for a bargain, as suggested by reports in The Express.

However, the situation has become more complicated with the involvement of Manchester United. According to The Evening Standard, United has entered the race for Toney’s signature at the last minute. While they have not yet made a formal bid, they are said to be in discussions with the striker, who is reportedly keen to leave Brentford. This unexpected development could disrupt Chelsea’s plans and make the competition for Toney even fiercer.Ivan Toney’s potential move to Chelsea is facing uncertainty as Manchester United considers making a late bid for the Brentford striker.
