Overview
- Multiple reports say Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa are pursuing the in-form Brazilian striker, with clubs in Spain and Italy also monitoring him.
- Brentford have set an asking price of about €70m/£70m after Thiago’s return of 12 goals in 16 matches this season, according to ESPN Brazil and others.
- The club is not open to a loan and is reluctant to sell mid-season, making a winter deal improbable and shifting focus to the summer window.
- Tottenham have explored a loan structure, and Aston Villa are linked with interest in the €50–57m range as a potential long-term alternative to Ollie Watkins, per reports.
- Thiago is prioritizing regular playing time to strengthen his Brazil World Cup case, a factor expected to influence timing and destination of any move.
