German giants Bayern Munich are reportedly monitoring the situation surrounding Igor Thiago, according to "O Globo." The Bavarian club is interested in the Brentford forward, who was also part of Brazil's squad for the 2026 World Cup. However, official negotiations have not yet commenced.

Following the departure of Nicolas Jackson, Bayern has already secured the services of Moroccan star Ismael Saibari and is now considering a potential offer for Igor Thiago. The idea is for the former Ludogorets striker to serve as a backup to Harry Kane.

Igor Thiago finished as the Premier League's second-highest scorer last season with 22 goals, trailing only Erling Haaland, who netted 27. The Brazilian's strong performance for Brentford earned him a spot in Brazil's World Cup squad, where he even started in the 1-1 draw against Morocco in their opening match. However, he failed to impress and did not feature in the starting eleven again.

His season at Brentford was the second-strongest of Igor Thiago's career, having previously recorded 29 goals and 6 assists for Belgian club Club Brugge. This impressive form prompted the English club to invest £30 million to bring him into their ranks. The 25-year-old Brazilian is under contract with the "Bees" until 2031.
