According to HITC, Atletico Madrid have now expressed an interest in signing Tottenham target Ivan Toney this summer.

Ivan Toney could be on the move this summer

With the Euros now over, the report says that Toney is now expected to sort out his future as he has just a year left on his current deal at the Brentford Community Stadium.

It is explained that the striker has already turned down several contract offers from the Bees and has made it clear that he wants to seek a fresh challenge.

Several Premier League sides, including Spurs, have allegedly asked about the centre-forward’s availability this summer but no one has substantiated their interest so far.

Brentford want £60m to sell Ivan Toney

This is thought to be because of Brentford’s unwillingness to reduce their asking price, with the club insisting on a £60m fee for their star man.

The outlet claims that Atletico Madrid have now become the latest club to join in the hunt for Toney’s signature over recent days.

Diego Simeone’s men are said to be on the lookout for a new number nine after selling Alvaro Morata to AC Milan.

The publication adds that they have now launched an enquiry about Toney and could be prepared to test Brentford’s resolve.

Spurs Web Opinion

I cannot see Atletico, Spurs or anyone else paying £60m for Toney, given his contract situation.

One would expect Brentford to soften their stance over the coming weeks as they would have no other choice.
