Ivan Toney invited friends to visit him in Saudi Arabia
On the last day of summer, the transfer saga of Ivan Toney came to an end. The England striker was pursued by numerous clubs, but he ultimately chose Al-Ahli. At his farewell party, he invited his friends over to say goodbye.
Details: Al-Ahli won the race for the forward by offering Brentford £40 million, while Toney himself will reportedly earn £400,000 per week. This substantial wage makes him one of the highest-paid English footballers in history.
Before departing for the Middle East, Toney gathered his friends to bid them farewell. He invited everyone over, saying he would be glad to see them there.
Quote: "Obviously, it’s all love.
You’ve all been invited to my place for your own reasons. We’ve got some great memories together, I’m sure. Maybe we’re a bit older, but we’re still having fun.
But yeah, you can all come over anytime. Flights are on me. Don’t worry, you’ll stay with me. We’ll enjoy this time."
Reminder: The last time Toney played in an official match was in the Euro 2024 final against Spain. After that, the coach didn’t use him, as it was widely known he would be leaving the team in the summer.
It’s unclear whether Toney’s words carried a hidden meaning—perhaps he was simply inviting his friends over, or maybe he was encouraging other footballers to join him in Saudi Arabia.
