Both Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly considering a move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who has attracted significant interest since returning from his betting ban. Arsenal, Tottenham, and West Ham have also shown interest but have been deterred by Brentford’s £60 million asking price.
Despite this, the Blues and the Red Devils are exploring a potential loan deal with an obligation to buy, as Toney’s contract expires next summer and he is unwilling to extend it. Brentford may need to sell him soon to avoid losing him for free. This loan-to-buy approach mirrors Brentford’s recent transfer of David Raya to Arsenal, which totaled £30 million.
United and Chelsea are both looking to strengthen their attacking options, with United already securing Joshua Zirkzee for £36.5 million this summer, and Chelsea having Nicolas Jackson, Armando Broja, and Christopher Nkunku as forward options.
