"I owe everything to them" – Brentford star uninterested in transfer talk, Bees like a family

Kayode has committed to Brentford long-term, signing a new deal through 2032 and dismissing summer transfer speculation from Inter and Juventus.

Brentford defender Michael Kayode has reaffirmed his commitment to the club, signing a contract extension through 2032 and ruling out a move away despite summer interest from Inter Milan and Juventus.

The 22-year-old joined Brentford on loan from Fiorentina in January 2025 and was signed permanently for €18m last year. He has since established himself as one of the Premier League's best full-backs and earned his Italy debut in September, adding three caps to his collection.

Kayode told Gazzetta dello Sport that he owes everything to Brentford for his rapid development. "If I hadn't played for Brentford, I wouldn't have made it to the national team," he said. "Brentford has become like a family to me." He decided to stay and extend his contract before the season ended, believing continued development at the club is the smartest move for his career.
