Michael Kayode

Michael Kayode's permanent transfer from Fiorentina to Brentford in July 2025 was reportedly for a fee around €17-18 million. Before that move, in late 2024, Liverpool was reportedly contemplating a €25 million bid. Throughout 2026, his valuation saw a significant increase. In January, reports suggested Brentford would demand over €35-40 million. By February, this figure was reported as a minimum of £50 million (approx. €58M). March 2026 saw conflicting reports, with some mentioning a €30 million price tag while others, including a rumoured offer from Chelsea, cited figures over £60 million (approx. €70M). By August 2026, Brentford's valuation in relation to Inter's interest was reported at €35-40 million. The most recent reports from October 2026 consistently state Brentford would require approximately €60-65 million to start any serious negotiations.

Our valuation is driven by multiple, consistent reports from late 2026 stating Brentford's demand of €60-65 million to begin negotiations for Michael Kayode. This high asking price is strongly supported by the new long-term contract he signed in July 2026, which runs until 2032, and the significant, widespread interest from top-tier clubs across the Premier League and Europe. His successful transition from Serie A for a fee of around €18 million further solidifies his current high market value.
