The transfer market is buzzing with news that Atletico Madrid have joined the pursuit of Brentford striker Ivan Toney. According to HITC, Diego Simeone’s side is ready to rival Premier League giants Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham for the 28-year-old’s signature.

Toney, whose contract with Brentford expires in 12 months, has rejected multiple renewal offers, signaling his desire for a move to a bigger club. With a price tag of around £60 million, the English international is set to be a hot commodity this summer.

Arsenal and Chelsea are both eyeing Toney to bolster their attacking options, while Manchester United sees him as a key support for Rasmus Hojlund. Tottenham, still seeking a true successor to Harry Kane, is also keen to secure his services under Ange Postecoglou.

However, with none of the English clubs making decisive moves yet, Atletico Madrid have seized the opportunity. Simeone’s team, looking to strengthen their attack amidst uncertainty over Alvaro Morata’s future, has already enquired about Toney’s availability.

Brentford’s firm stance on the asking price—no less than £50 million, with expectations closer to £60 million—poses a significant hurdle. As the new season approaches, all eyes will be on Toney’s next move in this escalating transfer saga.
