According to his agents, all the important Serie A teams made inquiries for Michael Kayode in the past summer. They stated that when Brentford acted, the decision was based on the league, as their evaluation was that his characteristics would suit the Premier League. The agents added that in the current transfer window, the Italian market is focused on purchases involving only loans with an option or obligation, and that Brentford would not allow him to leave at this time. They also stated that there are many opportunities in football and that the future is uncertain.

Claudio Vigorelli, when asked if any big Premier League club has already made contact for him, stated that it is still very early. Vigorelli added that they should enjoy his current period of good form and that it is inevitable that a significant opportunity could arise for him if he continues on this trend.

The agent Andrea Ritorni stated: "In futuro lo vedo fare un altro step in società top. Non che il Brentford non lo sia, ma lo vedo ancora più in alto."
