Here Is The Easy Money-Making Trick Everyone Is Talking About! Learn More Here!
Ivan Toney’s deadline day move to Saudi Arabia could see him land around £1 million a week after bonuses are included.
He signed for Al-Ahli last week on a dramatic final day of the summer window.
The England striker signed a four-year deal with the Saudi Arabian club, securing a basic weekly wage of £400,000 after tax, with performance-related bonuses potentially boosting his earnings to £500,000 per week.
To match this take-home pay in the UK, Toney would need to earn nearly £1 million per week due to tax differences.
Toney’s move to the Middle East marks a significant pay increase from the under £50,000 per week he earned at Brentford, where he spent four seasons after joining from Peterborough.
His £40 million transfer to Al-Ahli makes him one of the highest-paid English players, though the deal almost fell through.
Al-Ahli was simultaneously negotiating with Napoli for Victor Osimhen and had to choose between the two strikers.
With an agreement for Osimhen nearly finalized, Al-Ahli reached a last-minute deal with Brentford, ensuring Toney’s move.
Toney was in the final year of his contract at Brentford and faced the possibility of staying for another season if the deal had collapsed.
Brentford’s manager, Thomas Frank, had already excluded him from matchday squads due to the uncertainty surrounding his future.
Following the move, Toney becomes the second England player to join the Saudi Pro League, following Jordan Henderson.
His first match will be against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr after the international break, joining a team that includes former Premier League players Roberto Firmino and Edouard Mendy.
