PSG keen on signing Brentford right-back Michael Kayode
Paris St-Germain are being linked with a summer move for Brentford right-back Michael Kayode.

The 21-year-old defender, who holds Italian and Nigerian nationalities, has emerged as a reported target for the Ligue 1 champions, with Transfermarkt listing his current market value at €27.00m.

The rumour, logged on 2 March 2026, carries no stated probability of the transfer, underlining that discussions, if any, remain at a speculative stage.

Kayode only joined Brentford permanently in July 2025, having initially arrived on loan from Fiorentina in January of the 2024‑25 season.

His rapid rise has seen him progress from youth spells with Gozzano and Juventus, through Fiorentina’s Primavera side and into Serie A, before making the step into the Premier League with the Bees.

Born on 10 July 2004 in Borgomanero and standing at 1.79m, Kayode is a right‑footed specialist at right-back. His value has climbed sharply in recent years, moving from €75,000 at Gozzano in 2021 to €25m at Fiorentina by June 2024, and up again to €27m with Brentford by December 2025.

The data does not specify the length of his Brentford contract or an expiry date, leaving open the theoretical possibility that he could run down his deal and become a free agent in future if no agreement is reached on an extension or transfer. For now, however, he remains registered with the west London club.

No detailed recent match statistics are listed in the data provided, so there is no confirmed record here of individual performances, opponents or scorelines for his latest outings with Brentford.

Should a move to PSG eventually materialise, it would mark another significant step in Kayode’s career trajectory, potentially elevating his profile in European football and further enhancing his reputation as one of the more promising young full-backs emerging from Italy’s development pathway.
