Kayode’s Emotional Farewell to Fiorentina
Michael Kayode, the promising young defender, is set to make a move to the Premier League. The 19-year-old has agreed to join Brentford and will soon travel to London to sign with his new team. Fiorentina and Brentford have reached an agreement for an initial loan with an option to buy, valuing the deal at approximately 17-18 million euros. Fiorentina has also secured a 10% sell-on clause for any future transfer.
After his final training session at Viola Park, Kayode took a moment to express his gratitude and bid farewell to the city and club that helped shape his career. Speaking to local media, he said, “I want to thank everyone for everything you’ve given me, from the youth team to the first team. I’ve grown alongside you, and this next step is only possible because of you. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart. I’m sorry for how things have turned out, but I’m truly grateful.”
Kayode’s departure may prompt Fiorentina to re-enter the transfer market in search of a replacement for the talented right-back. As the young player embarks on his new adventure in England, he leaves behind a legacy of potential and fond memories in Florence.
