Intermediary Eduardo Valdes has confirmed that Chelsea and Juventus are interested in Fluminense forward Kenedy.

The 19 year-old broke into the Flu first-team in 2013 and with his stock continuing to increase with some strong showings with Brazil’s under-20 side, Valdes believes a number of teams want to sign him.

“In the Under 20 World Cup we saw a new start in Kenedy, half of Europe is following him,” he said, in an interview respected Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio’s website. 

“As of today I can say Juve is interested but Fluminese asked for a lot: €12/13 million. There was a contact with Chelsea, through Deco, now his agent, it was a timid approach, not a formal offer.”
