Brentford initiates talks with Kevin Schade for contract extension

Brentford has begun negotiations with Kevin Schade over a new long-term contract to deter interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. Schade has been in strong form this season, contributing three goals during the Bees' unbeaten start in the Premier League. Current speculation centers on his potential departure, as both Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly looking to strengthen their squads. Should talks progress positively, Brentford aims to secure Schade, whose contract is set to expire in 2028. The club looks to acknowledge his rapid development since joining from Freiburg, where they paid a club-record fee.
