English striker Ivan Toney has hit the jackpot with his move from Brentford to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli, seeing his weekly earnings multiply by an astonishing 25 times.
The lucrative deal catapults Toney into the ranks of the world’s highest-paid footballers, marking a dramatic financial leap for the 27-year-old. At Al Ahli, Toney is set to pocket a staggering £500,000 per week, comprising a £400,000 base salary plus £100,000 in bonuses. This astronomical figure dwarfs his previous weekly wage of £20,000 at Brentford, highlighting the immense financial pull of Saudi Arabian football.
The move not only represents a significant career shift for Toney but also underscores the growing influence of Saudi clubs in attracting top talent with unparalleled financial packages. As Toney embarks on this new chapter, all eyes will be on how he adapts to Saudi football and whether his on-field performances can match his off-field earnings.
