Brentford FC transfer news, rumours, and updates: Club Joins Race With Wolves to Sign Plymouth Argyle

Brentford forward Iven Toney has sealed a permanent transfer to Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli and are set to pay a transfer fee of £40 million ($53 million) for his services. The English striker has reportedly penned a three-year contract with the Saudi side.

Ivan Toney has been an instrumental figure for the Bees helping them secure promotion from Championship to Premier League in the 2020/21 season where he scored 33 league goals. He has been the subject of interest in the final days of the summer window with interest from Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd.

The 28-year-old striker has scored 72 goals in 141 appearances in his four-year spell with Brentford.

“It’s been a pleasure to work with Ivan over the last four years,” Brentford head coach Thomas Frank said.

“He has averaged more than one goal every two games, which is an unbelievable number.

“On the pitch, he has been a fantastic goalscorer, link-up player and leader. He has pushed the team, the squad and himself.”

As per ‘Sky Sports‘, Saudi Pro League club Al Ahli has agreed upon a transfer fee in the range of £40 million with Premier League’s Brentford in order to sign striker Ivan Toney.

The report further signifies that a medical has also been scheduled accordingly for the England international.

Ivan Toney had been garnering a lot of interest in the ongoing summer transfer window. Clubs like Chelsea, Man United, Tottenham, and Arsenal have been some of the names linked with a potential move for the forward.

With the transfer window nearing its closure, it seems like Brentford’s hierarchy has found the potential suitor for Toney in the form of Al Ahli. How the player fairs in Saudi, remains to be seen.

Man Utd reportedly held initial conversations over a possible move for Chelsea striker Ivan Toney in the final days of the summer transfer window. Chelsea are reportedly leading the race for the 28-year-old striker after he rejected a move to Saudi Arabia earlier this week.

Brentford are reportedly seeking less than the £50m valuation of Toney, who has less than 12 months remaining on his contract. If Toney doesn’t sanction an exit, Brentford will run the risk of losing him for free next summer.

Ivan Toney was left out of the Bees’ first two games of the Premier League campaign.

The Blues are reportedly interested in making a late swoop for Brentford striker Ivan Toney as the Bees are willing to accept way below their asking price of £50m for the England international. There are also reports that Man Utd have held preliminary talks with Brentford over a possible move.

The 28-year-old striker has held a concrete interest from Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli who have reportedly offered him £16 million per year over a four-year contract. He has missed the first two Premier League games for the Bees amid uncertainty over his future.

Brentford have reportedly confirmed the signing of Gustavo Nunes from Gremio, according to Ben Jacobs on X. The 18-year-old has joined the Premier League outfit on a six-year contract with the option of extending it further by another two years. The Bees paid the Brazilian side a fee of £10 million for his services.

Thomas Frank, the Brentford head coach, lavished praise on Nunes, saying he has a “lot of potential” and asserted that his side must “maximise” that in every aspect. The teenager made his Gremio debut in February this year, coming on in the first half and providing an assist in their 1-1 draw with Sao Luiz in the Brazilian Serie A.

Gremio winger Gustavo Nunes is set to join Brentford for a €12million fee, with a 20% sell-on clause inserted in his contract by the Brazilian side. The 18-year-old broke made his senior debut in February and has managed to score three and assist one in 20 appearances.

His progress hasn’t gone unnoticed as he captured the attention of top clubs including Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City. But, Brentford have made progress in talks with the young winger and have agreed to pay a €12million fee for his services.

Gustavo Nunes will be Brentford’s next summer signing after Sepp van den Berg’s arrival from Liverpool.

Manchester United have been told to make a move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who is reportedly valued at around £50m and has attracted heavy interest from Saudi Arabia this summer.

Pundit and former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy believes Toney would be more reliable in front of goal than Rasmus Hojlund and new signing Joshua Zirkzee. He believes the Brentford man could be a quality acquisition for Man Utd this summer.

Toney enjoyed his best campaign with the Bees in the 2022/23 season, where he bagged 20 goals in the Premier League. The 28-year-old striker has been hugely impressive during his time at Brentford, scoring 72 goals in 141 appearances.

Sepp van den Berg has completed a permanent transfer to Premier League side Brentford and signed a five-year contract with the Bees. The 22-year-old defender has turned down plenty of offers from German clubs including Bayer Leverkusen, Mainz, Stuttgart and a few more.

Liverpool will reportedly receive a guaranteed £20 million, with an additional £5 million potentially due in add-ons and the club have also included a 17.5% sell-on clause in the deal.

Van den Berg spent the last season on loan at Mainz where he made 33 Bundesliga appearances. He has only four senior appearances for Liverpool in his five-year spell with the club.

Liverpool have reportedly accepted a bid worth £30 million from Brentford for defender Sepp van den Berg, according to Sky Sports News (via 90min). A deal has been struck between the clubs after progress in negotiations were reported earlier this week.

Brentford have agreed to pay an initial fee of £25 million plus a further £5 million in add-ons. However, it is also stated that Van den Berg is yet to approve the move, and is considering other options too, such as Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen. They are stacked with talents in the centre-back position, but all three of their options – Edmond Tapsoba, Jonathan Tah and Odilon Kossounou have interests from other sides, and anyone leaving could open the door for Van den Berg.

The Bees have reportedly agreed in a deal in principle to sign Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg and have agreed to pay £25m plus £5m in add-ons for the Dutchman.  Liverpool are keen to offload him this summer and they are close to selling yet another player from the team.

Bayer Leverkusen have also taken an interest in the centre-back who joined Liverpool in a £4.4m move from Eredivisie club PEC Zwolle in 2019. The decision is now to the player who had several suitors across Europe in this summer window.
