Sanctions are no obstacle! Manchester City preparing a 2027 move for Brentford star

Despite serious pressure from disciplinary authorities, the English giants are not scaling back their long-term recruitment efforts.

Details: Manchester City continue to explore transfer options for the summer of 2027 despite the threat of severe sanctions, and Brentford’s 22-year-old right-back Michael Kayode has emerged as one of the club’s priority targets. This is according to the authoritative sports outlet TEAMtalk.

The looming investigations and legal battles with the league have not halted the Citizens’ scouting operation. At the Etihad, they are compiling a shortlist for key positions well in advance and see the young Italian as an excellent candidate to strengthen the right side of their defence, thanks to his power, stamina and tenacity in duels.

The defender’s assured performances for the Bees have attracted the attention of leading European clubs. In Manchester, they plan to monitor the player closely over the coming seasons in order to move swiftly to complete a deal if necessary.

It is worth noting that Michael Kayode first caught the attention of scouts around the world during his time with Italian side Fiorentina, while on the international stage he scored the winning goal in the Under-19 European Championship final for Italy.
