Ivan Toney Joins Saudi’s Al-Ahli, Becomes One of Highest-Paid English Footballers

Date:

Ivan Toney has completed a £40 million transfer to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli from Brentford, securing a salary that places him among the highest-paid English footballers globally.

Toney, 28, is set to earn £400,000 per week tax-free, with performance-related bonuses potentially pushing his earnings to £500,000 weekly. This marks a significant increase from his sub-£50,000 weekly wage at Brentford.

The striker’s new salary rivals that of other top English talents:

– Harry Kane earns approximately £400,000 per week at Bayern Munich, totaling £20.8 million annually.

– Jude Bellingham receives around £220,000 weekly at Real Madrid, doubling his previous earnings at Borussia Dortmund.

– Bukayo Saka takes home £300,000 per week at Arsenal, making him the club’s highest earner.

While Toney’s wage is substantial, it falls short of some Saudi Pro League salaries, such as Cristiano Ronaldo’s reported £3.2 million weekly earnings.

Toney becomes the second England international to join the Saudi Pro League, following Jordan Henderson. His transfer concludes weeks of speculation about his future, during which Brentford manager Thomas Frank excluded him from matchday squads.

Al-Ahli’s new signing is expected to make his debut against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr after the international break. Toney will join former Premier League players Roberto Firmino and Edouard Mendy at his new club.
