Igor Julio dos Santos de Paulo (born 7 February 1998), known as Igor Julio or simply Igor, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back or left-back for EFL Championship club Burnley.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Bom Sucesso, Minas Gerais, Igor joined Red Bull Brasil's youth setup from Portuguesa Santista.[1] In July 2016, after impressing with the under-20 side, he moved abroad and joined Austrian Bundesliga side Red Bull Salzburg, being initially assigned to the reserve team.[2]

Igor made his professional debut for FC Liefering on 22 July 2016, starting in a 1–0 Austrian First League home win against SV Horn.[3] After being a regular starter, he made his first team debut the following 28 May, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home defeat of Rheindorf Altach.

Igor was promoted to Red Bull Salzburg's main squad on 26 May 2017,[4] but continued to appear mainly with the B-team. On 7 January 2018, he was loaned to fellow top-tier club Wolfsberger, until June.[5]

On 2 July 2018, Igor moved to Austria Wien also in the first division, on a season-long loan deal.[6]

On 26 June 2019, Igor signed with Italian Serie A club SPAL a contract until 2023.[7]

On 31 January 2020, Igor joined Fiorentina on a two-year loan with an obligation to buy.[8] In June 2023, he came on as an 84th-minute substitute for Luca Ranieri in the Fiorentina team which finished runner-up in the 2022–23 Europa Conference League, losing 2–1 to West Ham United in the final.[9][10]

On 26 July 2023, Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion announced the signing of Igor on a four-year deal,[11] for a reported fee of €17 million.[12] Igor made his Brighton debut on 8 October 2023, playing sixty-three minutes in a 2–2 home draw against Liverpool in the Premier League.[13]

On 1 September 2025, Igor joined fellow Premier League club West Ham United on a season-long loan.[14] However, on 27 January 2026, the loan was cut short and he return to Brighton, having made just four appearances for the London club.[15]

On 1 September 2026, Igor moved to recently relegated EFL Championship club Burnley for an undisclosed fee on a permanent deal.[16]
