According to TEAMtalk, leading European clubs have been keeping a close eye on the forward's impressive performances.
Notable suitors: Intermediaries from Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham have reached out to assess the feasibility of a potential transfer. Furthermore, scouting reports on Tiago were prepared by Bayern Munich.
Brentford's decision: Head coach Keith Andrews and the club hierarchy view Tiago as a pivotal part of their long-term project. Earlier this year, a new long-term contract was signed with the player.
