Big clubs, with Manchester City among them, have shown interest in Igor Thiago. Igor Thiago is likely to leave Brentford after this season. Scoring several goals before and during the World Cup will increase his price to approximately 100 million euros.

According to Team Talk, both Manchester City and Bayern Munich have carried out extensive background work on Igor Thiago. Manchester City view him as a possible long-term successor to their current No.9, Erling Haaland.

According to a report from Fichajes, Man City have challenged Bayern Munich for Igor Thiago and have reportedly intensified their bid to sign him.

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.
