Michael Kayode, an Italian right-back for Brentford, is the subject of interest from multiple clubs, including Man City, because of his impressive form. The 21-year-old first joined Brentford on loan from Fiorentina, and the transfer became permanent in July 2025 for a fee of approximately €17-18 million. It is reported that Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Inter Milan are also observing him. It is understood that Man City are closely observing his development as they search for a new right-back for a possible summer transfer. Newcastle are also monitoring the player and had previously watched him during his period at Fiorentina. Additionally, Tottenham have a long-standing interest in Kayode, and the club's head coach, Thomas Frank, knows the player from his period as Brentford's manager at the time Kayode first came to England. Kayode has 8 caps for Italy U21, a contract with Brentford that lasts until June 2030, and has made 20 Premier League appearances this season. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €27 million. It was reported that in late 2024, before his transfer to Brentford, Liverpool was considering making a €25 million bid.
