Following the completion of his £40 million transfer to Saudi Pro League team Al Ahli, England striker Ivan Toney's girlfriend is subject to a number of stringent regulations in Saudi Arabia. The 28-year-old moved to Saudi Arabia on deadline day, leaving Brentford, and he is reportedly making almost £300,000 per week with his new team.
During this summer's transfer window, Toney was frequently linked to a transfer away from the Bees; he was left off of the matchday roster for their first two Premier League games. It was revealed just recently that Al Ahli was in talks about personal terms and was interested in coming to a deal to sign Toney.
However, Sky Sports said on Tuesday that Chelsea was getting ready to make a bid and had entered the battle to capture the striker. But the Blues lost out on signing Toney and Victor Osimhen of Napoli, who also agreed to a deal with Al Ahli.
Toney was signed by the Saudi Pro League team to take the last foreign player spot, leaving Osimhen in uncertainty in Italy. The spouses and partners of professional athletes, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Ruben Neves, are subject to certain regulations regarding their residency in the nation. There might be certain consequences if they do not do so.

Furthermore, alcohol and any pork products cannot be imported or consumed by a foreign woman. Throughout the month of Ramadan, they are also prohibited from eating, drinking, or smoking in public areas. Additionally, they need to apply for and be granted permission to go to places of worship like Mecca and Medina.
Although it was said that they were "turning a blind eye" to Cristiano Ronaldo as well as Rodriguez living together, the kingdom forbids unmarried couples from cohabiting and no longer prosecutes anyone who disobeys the law unless there is a crime involved.
