A year and a half ago, Igor Thiago became the most expensive transfer ever for Club Brugge, who banked €33 million from Brentford in the summer of 2024. The Brazilian saw his first season in England blighted by injuries, but is now on the rise.
Last season, Thiago barely played for his club due to two serious knee injuries, but is now back to full fitness. Despite the departure of stars Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa and coach Thomas Frank this summer, he made a strong impression.
Thiago because in Brentford
In ten matches, Thiago has scored six goals. Only Erling Haaland has scored more often in the Premier League this season. This means that the 24-year-old is already starting to attract some interest.
According to transfer specialist Ekrem Konur, several major English clubs are already on the lookout for Thiago. Aston Villa, Newcastle and Tottenham are particularly interested in a transfer. Spicy detail: in this last club, Thiago could find Frank.
Already a lot of interest
Newcastle are said to be particularly interested and are preparing a €40 million offer, but Brentford are currently unwilling to cooperate on a transfer. The club wants to enjoy Thiago for a little longer.
The striker is still under contract with the London club for four years. With a little delay, he will finally be able to establish himself in the Premier League. The club can undoubtedly still dream of a few additional millions with the necessary bonuses and possibly a percentage on the resale.
