Overview
- Portuguese outlet Record and Peruvian media reported in June 2026 that Brentford is close to signing 19-year-old Bassco Soyer from Gil Vicente under the two clubs' 2025 cooperation agreement.
- Soyer is a former Alianza Lima youth international who starred for Gil Vicente's Sub-23s this season, recording 12 goals and 8 assists and helping win the Taça Revelação.
- Reports say Brentford would initially place Soyer in its youth/Sub-23 structure to adapt to English football rather than immediately join the first team.
- Soyer is contracted to Gil Vicente until June 30, 2028 and has a reported market value near €200,000, so any move would require a negotiated fee or loan terms.
- The transfer remains unconfirmed: Peru21 says Brentford made an offer and a decision could come within days, but neither Brentford, Gil Vicente nor Soyer have issued official statements.
