Chelsea are well and truly into “selling mode” now, and next up looks set to be Kenedy.
The winger has been at the club for some time now, but it’s been a good few years since there was any realistic prospect of him being a Chelsea player in the long term.
That means loans and eventually a departure, and that part looks closer than ever, according to reports translated in SportWitness.
They’ve got the word from GloboEsporte in Brazil, who claim that Flamengo in his native Brazil will step up and make a serious offer for Kenedy.
Their football vice-president said as much in a press conference last weekend, and that’s usually a good sign – they don’t tend to talk up potential signings unless they’re confident they will happen.
Leaving Europe after not quite making it happen will be a disappointment – but we’re sure he can still make an impact back in South America.
