Juventus, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Newcastle, and Milan are among several major European clubs pursuing 24-year-old Brentford striker Igor Thiago. The interest in him follows a season in which he was the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League. It has been reported that his selection for Brazil's World Cup squad has made a potential transfer very difficult. While Brentford is preparing for his possible departure, the club does not intend to begin negotiations with any team until after the World Cup, as it believes the tournament will increase the player's market value. Aziz Yıldırım, a Fenerbahçe presidential candidate, is also interested in the forward and had previously stated that his staff was evaluating him. The Brazilian international has 2 caps and 1 goal for his country. He joined Brentford in July 2024 and has a contract until 2031. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €50.00m.
