Brentford have now set a clear valuation for Igor Thiago, according to Brazilian journalist Felipe Silva. The Premier League club reportedly want £70m for the striker, who has become one of the most productive Brazilian forwards in Europe this season.
The update comes as Aston Villa, Tottenham and clubs from Spain and Italy continue to make enquiries. Newcastle, who appeared among the Premier League clubs linked to Igor Thiago in earlier reports, no longer feature in the latest round of enquiries.
Brentford still do not plan to sell the 24-year-old in January, but they expect formal offers to arrive due to his form and age profile.
Silva states that Tottenham only established the price because interest is growing and approaches are likely to follow, they sound a little ahead of Aston Villa.
His scoring run has already placed him on the radar of Carlo Ancelotti and drawn attention across Europe. The valuation reflects both his output and the length of his contract, which runs to 2029 with an option for an extra year.
Brentford’s stance remains firm for now, and the next steps depend on whether any club decides to match the figure. The situation should grow more active as the window approaches.
