Liverpool shows interest in €65m-rated defender Michael Kayode from Brentford
Summary

Liverpool is reportedly monitoring Michael Kayode, a 22-year-old defender for Brentford, who has emerged as a key target. Since joining from Fiorentina in 2025, his performances have caught the eye of several top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Tottenham, and Newcastle, as well as Italian teams like Juventus. Despite Liverpool's interest, they have not yet made a bid, and Brentford is not looking to sell Kayode mid-season, having recently extended his contract until June 2032. Their asking price is estimated between €60 million and €65 million.
