Mercato: Igor Thiago, a beautiful Brazilian baby to Bruges

A soul market

The summer transfer window in northern Venice promises to be intense and eventful. Several players from the current roster, considered surplus, may leave. Including Dedryck Boyata (barely 680 minutes played this season), Jack Hendry (after his unsuccessful return from loan) or Kamal Sowah.

Others will be called upon, obviously, such as Tajon Buchanan (notably followed by Inter Milan) and Noa Lang. It is certainly to compensate for one of these departures that the Club has already hired the Polish winger Michal Skoras (23 years old, Lech Poznan) and the young Spanish striker Victor Barbera (18 years old, FC Barcelona B).

Qualified as a flop since his return to Belgium, at Club Brugge therefore, for 16 million euros, the Ukrainian Roman Yaremchuk (27) should stay. Ferran Jutg there too?

Athletic and complete

Anyway, Club Brugge have taken the lead and are therefore close to completing the arrival of Igor Thiago. Or rather Igor Thiago Nascimento Rodrigues, his full name. An athletic profile (almost 1m90), relatively complete and with great potential.

Trained at Cruzeiro like Rivaldo, Ronaldo or Giovanni Elber, he has been playing for two seasons at the forefront of Ludogorets’ attack. Last February, it was he who scored the only two goals for the Bulgarian team against Anderlecht in the Europa League Conference.
