Overview
- Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa are credited with serious interest in the 24-year-old, with clubs in Italy and Spain also monitoring him.
- Brentford are resisting a mid-season sale and are not open to a loan move, according to multiple reports.
- Given the club’s stance and valuation, a transfer in January is considered unlikely, with stronger bids anticipated in the summer window.
- Thiago has scored 12 goals in 16 matches this season, elevating his market value after an injury-hit 2024–25.
- Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is reported to view Thiago as a long-term alternative to Ollie Watkins, with a potential bid discussed in the €50–57m range.
