Brentford striker Ivan Toney (28), who has worked hard on recruiting in recent months, has revealed his desired destination himself. It wasn't Tottenham. Tony's destination is Manchester United. Tony's agent even notified the Brentford club directly. Tottenham's plan to recruit a striker is about to go up in smoke.
British media Inside Football said on the 13th (Korea time) 'England national striker Ivan Toney wants to transfer to Manchester United. His agent notified his team Brentford of this, the report said.
Ivan Toney is a striker to watch in this summer's transfer window and has been attracting a lot of attention for months. Many clubs have pushed for Tony's recruitment. Tony, who joined Brentford, which was a member of the 2020 Championship (second division), and led the promotion, proved to be a special striker by scoring 20 goals (four assists) in the EPL in the 2022-2023 season.
However, Tony was suspended for eight months by the English Football Association (FA) in May last year for violating betting regulations. He returned to the team in January, eventually slumping to four goals and two assists in 17 appearances. The suspension of the suspension was significant. As a result, the ransom fell somewhat.
Still, there is no doubt about his ability. There is a possibility that he will participate in the Euro 2024 as a member of the English national team and play in the final against Spain.

Coach Enze Postecoglou, who experienced this situation, strongly asked the club to recruit frontline strikers. Tony was one of the candidates. Just in time, Tony was also determined to leave Brentford without renewing his contract. The trip to Tottenham was expected to be quite specific.
Tottenham once offered Brentford £40 million after completing a personal agreement with Tony. But Brentford rejected it.
A powerful variable has emerged in this situation.

Of course, this doesn't confirm Tony's trend. There is still room for negotiation. However, it is highly likely that the Brentford club will open the negotiation table with Manchester United first, as they have been officially notified by the agent. If Manchester United bet big, Tony's manhood could be confirmed without room for Tottenham to intervene.
The key is how much transfer fee Brentford wants. Brentford is expected to want as much money as possible as the possibility of renewing the contract has already disappeared. With a history of rejecting Tottenham's £40m offer, it is expected to call at least £50m. The key is whether Manchester United will accept this amount. Tottenham should take a new approach after seeing Manchester United's negotiation process.
