Manchester City are reportedly keeping tabs on Fulham full-back Michael Kayode, with a potential move said to be on the cards as far off as 2027, according to EPL Index.
The report suggests that despite the broader uncertainty currently surrounding the club, City's recruitment operation continues to operate on a "business as usual" basis, scouting future targets well in advance rather than being distracted by short-term noise.
Kayode, who arrived in the Premier League with Fulham, has reportedly caught City's eye as a long-term option in defence. It's understood the Etihad hierarchy like to identify and monitor players early, building dossiers long before any formal approach is made.
As it stands, this remains firmly in the realm of planning rather than an active negotiation - there's no indication of a bid, contact, or agreed timeline beyond the suggestion that 2027 has been floated as a possible window. Fulham have given no public response, and City have made no official comment on their recruitment strategy regarding the defender.
