Juventus in summer move for Brentford’s Michael Kayode | OneFootball

Juventus have reportedly identified Brentford’s Michael Kayode as a priority target for the upcoming summer transfer window. According to Mirko Di Natale, the Bianconeri are closely monitoring the 21-year-old wing-back as they look to bolster their defensive options for the 2026/27 campaign.

Kayode, who spent several years in the Juventus youth system before his eventual breakthrough at Fiorentina, has seen his stock rise significantly since moving to the Premier League. Brentford, who made his loan move permanent last summer for approximately €17.5 million, are now in a strong position to demand a substantial profit. The report indicates that the “Bees” have slapped a €30 million price tag on the Italian international to ward off potential suitors.

Despite the high valuation, Di Natale suggests that Juventus are serious about bringing the player back to Turin, where he first began his footballing journey. While a January move is ruled out due to Brentford’s refusal to part with him mid-season, the summer looks set to be the decisive window for a potential homecoming.
