According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Aston Villa are eager to sign right-back Michael Kayode from Fiorentina this summer and have entered the race for his services.
The Villans put in a bid of €20 million to sign the full-back prodigy from Italy, but Fiorentina rejected the offer.
Villa’s president of football operations, Monchi, is a big fan of Kayode’s style of play and is willing to make sure a deal can be reached for the player.
Kayode spent his early years at Juventus’ youth ranks before joining La Viola’s under-19 squad in the summer of 2021.
The Italy Under-21 international made 26 appearances in Serie A last season.
Due to the uncertainty surrounding Matty Cash’s long-term future, the Villans are searching the market for a right-back heading into the summer transfer window.
