Brentford are looking to guard against Igor Thiago potentially leaving the club this summer after an incredible 2025/26 campaign.

The Brazil international was a symbol of the club's bold new direction following the departure of long-serving boss Thomas Frank as he scored 22 top-flight goals and landed a spot in Carlo Ancelotti's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Keith Andrews is keen to retain him at the Gtech Community Stadium, but the club are realistic over their ability to hold off major transfer offers for the 25-year-old, after failing to secure European qualification in the final weeks of the season.

Brentford are rumoured to have already received two offers from unnamed clubs - one in England and one in Europe - and that puts Andrews in a difficult position over his No.9.

As part of their planning, reports from The Athletic indicate the Bees are prepared to make a free transfer offer to Callum Wilson after his contract expired at relegated West Ham United.

Wilson scored seven PL goals as the Hammers eventually slipped through the relegation trap door and he's open to joining Brentford in a bid to stay in the Premier League.

Th 34-year-old is expected to be offered a one-year deal as Andrews looks to add more options to his frontline ahead of Brentford's preseason return n the coming weeks.
