Tony returns to Brentford training, future in the dark superwin636

superwin636 Ivan Toney has returned to training with Brentford amid uncertainty over his future. superwin636

Toney, who has been capped by England at Euro 2024 and has had to extend his summer break later than his team-mates, was initially expected to leave Brentford on a big-money deal this summer amid interest from top and mid-tier Premier League clubs.

Brentford had dreamed of signing Toney for as much as £60m, but the situation this summer has been unusual, with many of the big clubs planning to spend big on young players. ( superwin636  )

So, spending big on a 28-year-old striker is a high-risk investment, especially given the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules (PSRs).

This leaves Brentford in the dark as Toney’s current contract is entering the final year and there is no hope of a new deal, while several clubs have switched to signing him on a free transfer in the middle of next year, leaving the Bees at high risk of losing the player for nothing.
