Juventus are reportedly turning their attention back to the Italian market, and Brentford defender Michael Kayode has emerged as a target in their plans, according to EPL Index (Opta Stats).
The report suggests the Serie A giants are building a recruitment strategy centred on developing young Italian talent, with Kayode fitting that profile as a homegrown full-back who has impressed since moving to the Premier League. His performances at Brentford are understood to have caught Juventus' eye as they look to strengthen their domestic core for the coming seasons.
The interest is said to be a source of concern for Brentford, who would face the prospect of losing a promising young full-back they have worked to develop, with little indication yet of a concrete offer being tabled.
As it stands, this remains speculation rather than an advanced move, with no official contact or bid confirmed. Brentford will hope to fend off any approach as they continue building around their emerging talents, though Juventus' interest, if it intensifies, could test the Bees' resolve in the coming transfer windows.
