Igor Júlio

In May 2026, reports indicated Brighton were requesting €6 million from Cruzeiro, whose initial offer was slightly lower. In February 2026, Palmeiras was reportedly unwilling to meet a £6 million (~€7 million) asking price. Around that time, his Transfermarkt value was cited as €15 million. In mid-to-late 2025, his value was estimated higher, with an ETV of €20.5 million mentioned in September and a Transfermarkt value of €20 million cited in several reports. His last completed transfer with a fee was from Fiorentina to Brighton in July 2023 for €17 million.

Our valuation for Igor Júlio is primarily driven by recent and consistent reports from May 2026 stating Brighton's asking price is €6 million in advanced negotiations with Cruzeiro. This is further supported by a reported asking price of £6m (~€7m) for Palmeiras in February 2026. The significant drop from his €17 million transfer fee in 2023 is justified by his limited playing time and a short-lived loan spell, indicating a clear market correction.
