BIOGRAPHY
Igor is a professional footballer currently playing for Brighton in the Premier League. Originally from Bom Sucesso, Brazil, this Brazil international has steadily made his way to the top level. Operating as a defender, his frame of 185 cm and 85 kg gives him a physical edge in aerial and physical duels. A committed and robust defender, he puts his body on the line in duels to protect his goal. His transfer from Fiorentina to Brighton in 2023 for € 17M was one of the most talked-about deals of that window. The silverware in his career — notably UEFA Youth League, Cup, Bundesliga — confirms his ability to perform in the biggest moments. As 2025/2026 unfolds, he continues to deliver performances that justify his place in Brighton's squad. With his technical ability and competitive drive, Igor has many more chapters to write in his professional story.
