According to Sports Boom, Manchester United are interested in signing Brentford striker Igor Thiago in the summer of 2026 and are reported to have discussed the striker, who is in good form. Sports Boom claims Brentford will demand at least £71m (€81.6m, $96.7m) for Thiago. The player signed a new contract with Brentford this week, but that has not reduced Man Utd’s interest. A well-placed source told TEAMtalk that Thiago and his representatives know about the interest but are not seeking a transfer in the short or medium‑term. The source added that he is very happy at Brentford and believes he can achieve all his immediate goals with them.

It is reported that Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal are showing interest in Igor Thiago, a 24-year-old striker who holds both Brazilian and Bulgarian citizenship. His performance, which includes 17 goals in 26 Premier League matches this season, has led to interest from larger clubs. Thiago recently signed a new contract with Brentford, leaving him with five years on his deal. The club is said to want 80 million euro for the player. His current market value is €35.00m, according to Transfermarkt. His former club, Club Brugge, sold him to the English side for 33 million euro. Club Brugge are monitoring the situation as they negotiated a 12.5% sell-on clause on any profit from a future sale.
