Igor has made 110 appearances in all competitions for I Viola since signing from fellow Italian club SPAL in 2021.
The Brazilian centre-back initially joined Fiorentina on a two-year loan with an obligation to buy in January 2020.
Igor was a mainstay at the back for I Viola last season. He appeared 42 times as Vincenzo Italiano’s side finished eighth in Serie A, and runners-up in both the UEFA Europa Conference League and Coppa Italia.
