XXL price tag unveiled: Bayern flirt costs 100 million euros | OneFootball

At FC Bayern, plans for the future of the forward line have long been in the background, with one name increasingly coming to the fore: Igor Thiago. Now there is a new development surrounding the attacker.

According to information from TransferFeed, the Brentford striker could take the next big step in his career in the summer. A departure after the season is considered likely, while his transfer fee could rise to up to 100 million euros if he scores more goals.

It was recently reported that Munich are looking closely at the Brazilian and are discussing him internally as a possible long-term solution in the center of attack. The 24-year-old has come to the fore in the Premier League with strong performances, attracting the interest of several top clubs. He has scored a strong 19 goals in 31 games.

No concrete talks are known to date, but the attacker is being closely monitored at Säbener Straße. In addition to FC Bayern, other European heavyweights are also said to have put out feelers.

Clear distribution of roles in the Bayern attack

The starting position at the record champions is clearly defined. Harry Kane is the undisputed regular in the center of attack and remains the central fixture in Munich’s attacking play. At the same time, there are many indications that Nicolas Jackson will leave the club after the season. This would create a gap behind Kane in the squad that would have to be filled in a targeted manner.

In this scenario, Thiago could play an interesting role. The Brazilian would be a potential backup for Kane, who could be built up step by step without immediately having to carry the pressure of a regular place.

The attacker’s sporting development plays a decisive role here. Further strong performances could drive his market value up further and make a transfer increasingly complicated. Brentford still have the upper hand thanks to their long-term contract and have no pressure to sell. In addition, the competition from the Premier League is considered financially strong, which makes a potential transfer even more difficult.
