Chelsea and Man United register interest in 22-goal forward

Chelsea and Manchester United are among the teams to have explored a potential move for Brentford forward Igor Thiago.
Both sides have contacted intermediaries to register interest in the Brazilian, who scored 22 goals in the Premier League last season. Tottenham Hotspur have also expressed interest in Thiago, while TEAMtalk report that Bayern Munich are monitoring his situation closely.
Brentford have no intention of selling Thiago this summer, with the Bees in a strong position. Thiago signed a new long-term contract until the summer of 2031, with a club option of a further year, in February, and is committed to remaining in West London.
After signing his new deal, Thiago thanked Brentford for their support after an ACL injury decimated his debut season.
His first full season post-injury resulted in the 25-year-old finishing as runner-up to Erling Haaland for the Premier League’s Golden Boot, and earning a place in Brazil’s World Cup squad after making his international debut. He has scored twice in five caps for the five-time world champions.
