Manchester City Reported to Lead Race for Brentford Right-Back Michael Kayode

Brentford's 2030 contract gives them leverage to seek a fee north of €35m.

Overview

  • CaughtOffside, citing unnamed agent-side sources, reports that Manchester City are the most serious suitors for the 21-year-old.
  • Right-back is expected to be a summer focus for City, with the report noting recent use of midfielder Matheus Nunes in that role.
  • Bayern Munich, Juventus, Inter Milan, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are also described as monitoring Kayode.
  • Brentford signed him from Fiorentina last summer after an initial loan, for a reported £17–18m, and he is under contract until 2030.
  • Reports suggest Brentford would want more than €35m for a January deal, potentially rising toward €40m with bonuses, or could wait until summer to drive the price higher.
