Brentford full-back Michael Kayode has emerged as a potential target for Inter Milan and Juventus, with the Italian giants monitoring the defender ahead of the January transfer window.
According to Calciomercato.it, both Inter Milan and Juventus are planning for next season while also assessing whether any opportunities could arise in January. One name common to both clubs’ shortlists is Michael Kayode, who has impressed since moving to Brentford.
Kayode fits Italian clubs’ long-term plans
Kayode joined Brentford in an €18m deal last January and has quickly established himself as a reliable option, particularly on the right flank. His performances have not gone unnoticed in Italy, where Inter and Juventus are both seeking long-term solutions in wide defensive areas.
The defender is seen as matching the “technical and economical” profile favoured by both clubs’ leadership. From a technical standpoint, Kayode’s athleticism and attacking intent are viewed as traits that could address ongoing issues on the right side for both Serie A sides. Economically, his current wage level is also considered attractive compared to more established targets.
Brentford stance keeps suitors at bay
Despite the growing interest, there is currently no indication that Brentford are prepared to negotiate. Kayode is under contract until 2030, placing the Premier League club in a strong position.
Reports suggest Brentford would only consider discussions at a valuation of around €30m — a figure described as “quite significant” and one that is enough, for now, to keep Inter and Juventus at arm’s length.
Monitoring rather than moving
As things stand, both Italian clubs are content to monitor Kayode’s progress rather than force a move. January activity is not ruled out entirely, but any serious approach is more likely to come in the coming months once their broader squad plans become clearer.
For Brentford, Kayode remains a key asset, while for Inter and Juventus he represents a profile worth tracking — young, improving and potentially attainable if circumstances change.
Key insights
- Inter Milan and Juventus are tracking Michael Kayode
- The Brentford defender fits both clubs’ “technical and economical” criteria
- Brentford value Kayode at around €30m
- A January move looks unlikely, with monitoring the current strategy
What’s next?
Kayode’s situation is one to watch as the season progresses. If he continues to develop at his current rate, interest from Italy could intensify ahead of the summer window, even if January proves too soon for a deal.
Should Brentford resist all interest in Kayode, or cash in if a €30m offer arrives?
