Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal are interested in Igor Thiago, a 24-year-old Brazilian striker for Brentford. He has scored 17 goals in 26 matches during an impressive season. Brentford's position in negotiations is strengthened by Thiago having recently signed a new contract with five years remaining on his deal, and the club wants 80 million euro for his transfer. His former club, Club Brugge, which sold him for 33 million euro, is monitoring the situation as they hold a 12.5% sell-on clause on the profit from any future sale. His current Transfermarkt market value is €35.00m. Reports from early 2026 have stated Brentford's asking price is between €70 million and €80 million. In late 2025, there were rumoured offers, such as a potential €40 million bid from Newcastle.
