Manchester City maintain their interest in the 24-year-old Brazilian forward Igor Thiago, despite his new long-term contract with Brentford that runs until 2031. According to sources who spoke to TEAMtalk, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich are monitoring his progress, while a separate source informed the outlet that Thiago is not seeking a transfer. He transferred from Club Brugge for €33 million in July 2024, and reports in early 2026 stated Brentford's asking price was between €70 million and €80 million.
