Michael Kayode, a defender for Fiorentina, is reportedly close to joining Brentford of the Premier League.
Violanews claims that Brentford wants to sign Kayode on a loan with the possibility of a permanent move at the end of the current campaign.
However, the Violas would like to include a buy-back clause to the agreement.
Manager Raffaele Palladino left the 20-year-old out of Fiorentina’s roster for Sunday’s match against Torino in Serie A.
Palladio’s choice implies that negotiations with Brentford are now at a more advanced stage.
With Dodo regarded as the first option in his position, the right-back, who made 26 appearances for Fiorentina the previous season, has struggled to receive as much playing time since Palladino’s arrival.
