Liverpool are at the monitoring stage on Brentford right-back Michael Kayode, according to CaughtOffside. The 22-year-old Italian has impressed in the Premier League and fits a defensive profile the Reds may need to balance their attack-minded fullbacks.
Brentford will demand at least £50.8m–£55.1m for any serious negotiation, and Keith Andrews’ side have made clear Kayode is integral to their plans this season. The defender signed a contract extension through summer 2032, giving Brentford significant leverage.
The signing would create a squad surplus at right-back, potentially spelling the end for Jeremie Frimpong at Liverpool. Manager Andoni Iraola views Conor Bradley as the long-term option, while Ronald Araujo can operate as a defensive fullback when needed. Kayode’s conservative approach—sitting deeper than Frimpong—would offer tactical flexibility to manage the attacking instincts of Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.
