DONE DEAL: Brentford make bid for Fiorentina’s young star and personal terms agreed with both parties

Brentford have set their sights on Michael Kayode, the 19-year-old right-back from Fiorentina, demonstrating a genuine and concrete interest in the young talent. The English club has moved quickly from initial inquiries to submitting a formal offer to the Italian side.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the Premier League outfit has proposed a loan deal with an obligation to buy, contingent on a certain number of appearances. The total package is reported to be worth between €20-22 million, showcasing Brentford’s serious intent to secure the promising defender.

However, Fiorentina appear reluctant to part ways with Kayode, especially under the terms proposed by Brentford. The Serie A club values the young player highly and sees him as part of their future plans.

Kayode has already made his mark this season, starting in Fiorentina’s Conference League preliminary match against Puskas Akademia and making a late appearance in their Serie A opener against Parma. These early season involvements underscore his importance to the team.
