For Ivan, the Blues need to withstand competition from Al-Ahli, and for Jadon, from Juventus
Chelsea has been very active in the last days of the transfer window. The club has not given up hope of buying a quality centre forward, and for this purpose has renewed its interest in the striker Brentford to Ivan Tawneywho had previously been on the Blues’ list of transfer targets.
In addition, the capital club continues negotiations with Manchester United about two separate transactions – Raheem Sterling And Jadon Sancho.
According to British media, Chelsea have made progress in negotiations over Toney and could snatch the player from Al-Ahli. The aristocrats will not be able to offer the 28-year-old player the same high salary as the Saudi club. But Ivan will get the opportunity to play in the Premier League, and he will not even have to move from West London.
Al Ahly are currently considering whether to agree to the Bees’ £50m request, following a £35m offer from the Saudis for the England forward that was rejected.
Amid heightened transfer interest, Toney missed both of Brentford’s opening games of the new season, with Tottenham and Manchester United previously reported to be interested in Toney this transfer window.
Last season, Toney played 17 matches for Brentford in the Premier League, scoring 4 times. Ivan Toney missed the first part of the last season due to suspension.
Toney was also part of the England squad for Euro 2024, playing three matches at the tournament and helping his national team reach the final, where they lost to Spain (1:2).
Chelsea also wants to strengthen the squad with Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho. According to current information, the Londoners are ready to impose competition on Juventus in the fight for the 24-year-old Englishman. Earlier it was reported that the Mancunians are ready to consider the option of selling Sancho for 40 million pounds. PSG also showed interest in Jadon in this transfer window.
According to one version, Chelsea were ready to include Raheem Sterling and/or Ben Chilwell, who are not needed by Enzo Maresca, in the Sancho deal. However, the left-back problem is not so critical for the Red Devils now, given the presence of Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui. And United may consider the Sterling deal separately from the Sancho agreement. At the same time, Crystal Palace is also showing interest in the 29-year-old winger.
Chelsea started the Premier League with a home defeat to Manchester City (0:2), after which they thrashed Wolverhampton away (6:2). In the next match of the championship, the team of Ukrainian Mykhailo Mudryk will host Crystal Palace on September 1, and before that, on August 29, they will play the return match of the Conference League qualification playoff against Swiss Servette (in the first home match, the Londoners won 2:0).
