What if Igor Thiago’s injury blocks Ivan Toney’s transfer? The 23-year-old centre-forward, bought for €33 million from Club Brugge (Belgium), went off after suffering discomfort in the meniscus of his right knee during Brentford’s friendly match against AFC Wimbledon (English fourth division) last week. According to The Athleticthe Brazilian will undergo a further knee examination early next week, which will determine whether he will need surgery and miss the start of the 2024-25 season.
A big blow for Brentford, since Igor Thiago had been recruited to compensate for the probable departure of Ivan Toney. As the British media outlet points out, the English international (6 caps) has an exit voucher this summer. Brentford wants to recover a sum on his transfer, one year before the end of his contract. He is valued at around 60 million pounds by the Premier League club.
