Brentford transfer targets summer 2026: Bees just £2.5m off valuation

In this article, we take a look at all of the reported Brentford transfer targets for the summer window.

The Bees had to do plenty of business in last summer's transfer window, after a number of key players departed the club including Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Christian Norgaard and Mark Flekken. Head coach Thomas Frank also left the Gtech Community Stadium.

Set-piece coach Keith Andrews was drafted in to replace Frank, and it is safe to say that he is doing a great job, as he kept Brentford in the top half of the table and even pushed for potential European football. Nonetheless, Andrews may look to strengthen again this summer to help keep his team afloat.

Brentford transfer targets summer 2026

Andreas Christensen (Barcelona)

According to various reports, Barcelona's Danish central defender, Andreas Christensen, was a target for Brentford last summer. Both Manchester United and Juventus were also thought to be interested in his signature, and only time will tell whether the Bees will rekindle their interest.

Johan Vasquez (Genoa)

According to reports, Brentford, as well as fellow West London rivals Fulham, are monitoring the situation of Johan Vasquez at Serie A side Genoa. The Mexican central defender is thought to be valued at around £17m, and has impressed several clubs in both England and Italy ahead of a potential move.

Yeremay Hernandez (Deportivo)

Similarly, Brentford are thought to be interested in bringing Yeremay Hernandez to the Premier League, but several English top-flight teams were also courting the attacker last summer. Wolverhampton Wanderers and the newly-promoted Leeds United were also in the race for his signature, and were willing to pay the £28m release clause in his contract.

Again, only time will tell whether any of these clubs, including the Bees, will look to rekindle their interest.

Roland Sallai (Galatasaray)

According to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Brentford have inquired about the possibility of signing Roland Sallai in the summer transfer window. However, Galatasaray have informed the Bees that they do not wish to sell him unless an astronomical offer is received.

According to transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla, Brentford are willing to offer £13m for Matteo Cancellieri. However, Lazio want closer to £15.5m.

Andre Luiz (Rio Ave)

According to GOAL, Brentford, as well as fellow Premier League rivals Sunderland, are keen on signing Andre Luiz in the summer transfer window. However, Porto, Sporting and Benfica are also thought to be interested in the attacker, who Rio Ave value at £13.1m.
