Brentford's Schade Valued at €60M, Summer Exit Looms

Brentford winger Kevin Schade is anticipated to depart the club this summer, with his future uncertain after the upcoming World Cup. The 24-year-old joined Brentford in 2025 for €23m and has a contract until 2028. However, his impressive form, contributing six goals and three assists in 20 Premier League matches, has led Brentford to value him between €50-60m. This valuation makes a return to his native Germany unlikely, as only Bayern Munich could afford such a transfer fee.

Tottenham Hotspur has emerged as a potential suitor for Schade, with reports linking them to the Potsdam native. Despite Brentford's wishes to extend his current contract, the player is reportedly more inclined to seek new opportunities elsewhere following the international tournament. Schade's performances have put him in contention for Germany's World Cup squad.

The significant transfer fee makes a move to the Bundesliga improbable for most clubs, including Borussia Dortmund, who were previously linked but are now deterred by the price tag. Schade's current market value suggests a high-profile transfer, with his future at Brentford appearing increasingly temporary.
