According to a new report from renowned journalist Ben Jacobs, Premier League Brentford
Team striker Ivan Toney is facing an important decision in his career. Saudi giants Jeddah National have issued an ultimatum to the England striker to give a final answer on whether he will join the club by Monday. The decision is not only about Ivan Toni's personal future, but also about the nerves of the two clubs.
Jeddah National have reportedly offered Ivan Toni a lucrative three-year contract, the exact terms of which have been largely finalized. However, despite the contract being extremely attractive to Ivan Toni, he is still carefully evaluating his options and has yet to make a final decision. It is worth noting that this transfer has not yet been approved by Brentford
The club's official approval certainly adds to the uncertainty surrounding the transfer.
In terms of transfer fees, Jeddah National initially made an offer of £35 million, which was met by Brentford
The Rejection. Brentford
The side insisted on a transfer fee of at least £50 million, and the two sides are far apart on the issue. However, as the transfer window draws closer, it is expected that the parties will soon engage in further negotiations and try to reach a mutually acceptable solution.
The main reason why Jeddah National set Monday as the deadline is because the transfer window for the Saudi League will close on September 2nd. If Ivan Toni fails to give a positive answer by Monday, Jeddah National will have to look for other striker candidates before the transfer window closes to ensure the integrity and competitiveness of the squad.
