Al‑Ahli Director Rules Out January Exit for Ivan Toney

Al‑Ahli’s firm stance, coupled with the striker’s long, lucrative deal, makes a mid‑season move unlikely.

Overview

  • Club director Rui Pedro Baz dismissed January exit rumours as “just not true” and said Al‑Ahli are counting on Toney.
  • Independent reporting characterizes a move as unlikely this winter given Al‑Ahli’s reluctance to sell and Toney’s apparent contentment in Saudi Arabia.
  • Toney’s contract runs through the 2027–28 season and his wages are reported to be a major obstacle for would‑be buyers.
  • Tottenham have been exploring a deal and, according to Football Insider, could sell one of Dominic Solanke or Richarlison to fund it, though the transfer is considered difficult.
  • Everton and West Ham are reported to be sounding out a January move, and some coverage suggests Toney could weigh an eventual Premier League return to aid his England prospects.
