Brentford is preparing to decrease their asking price for Ivan Toney, according to a source with a 4-star reliability rating.
After initially setting a price of £100 million for Ivan Toney, which deterred potential buyers, Brentford has now lowered their valuation of the striker to a more attainable £60 million.
Although £60 million may still seem steep, Toney’s impressive track record in the Premier League justifies the cost. He continues to stand out as a premier choice compared to other available strikers, showcasing his exceptional skills and consistency on the field.
Arsenal, who are actively searching for a new striker, were previously put off by the high asking price for Toney. The revised valuation might now reignite their interest, given that they were only deterred by the financial demands.
Toney, on his part, has not signed a new contract with Brentford. His decision is driven by a desire to leave the club on a bargain deal this summer, seeking new opportunities while making himself a more attractive option for potential suitors by pushing for a lower transfer fee.
