Report: €18.4M defender to exit Brighton as new details emerges

Milan targeting Brighton defender Igor for new coach Fonseca

Paulo Fonseca, the incoming coach of Milan, may seek Igor, a former player for Fiorentina, in his search for

defensive reinforcements at Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Portuguese strategist, who intends to restructure the team, is expected to be named Stefano Pioli‘s

succession early next week.

Brazilian center-back Igor is one of his choices to strengthen the defense, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Having played for SPAL and Fiorentina before to his €16.15 million plus bonuses transfer to Brighton in the

summer of 2023, he is well-known in Serie A.

To Igor, Serie A is familiar.

Under Roberto De Zerbi, Igor appeared in 33 games for the Seagulls this season.

With a one-year extension option, his contract expires in June 2027. He can also play left back when necessary.

The agreement would likely cost around €20 million, however Milan would probably want to arrange a loan

with a buyout option at the end of the current campaign.
