Ivan Toney is reportedly interested in joining Manchester United, and the team needs a big name striker to bolster their attack.
According to The Sun, Toney is prepared to accept huge terms of £250,000 per week for moving to Old Trafford.
The report claims that the England international will make more money than Man United captain Bruno Fernandes if he receives the above-mentioned deal.
Toney currently earns a meager £36,000 a week at Brentford; his contract is set to end in the summer of 2025.
Man Utd are known for overpaying their players and have a hefty payroll already.
Toney’s desire to sign a big contract in order to join them is therefore not surprising.
The Sun claims that after learning of the £100 million asking price, Arsenal and Chelsea withdrew their interest.
