Fluminense are ready to sell forward Kenedy’s rights to an investment group ahead of a possible switch to Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to reports.

GloboEsporte, as cited by respected Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio’s official website, suggests that Kenedy is likely to eventually join Chelsea for around €8 million, with the Blues now considered to be the favourites to secure an agreement.

The likes of Juventus and Milan are also believed to be keen on the 19 year-old, who is contracted until December 2018, but given that Giuliano Bertolucci, an intermediary involved in the deal, represents Chelsea trio Oscar, Willian and Ramires, it is assumed that a move to England is more likely.

Kenedy has come to prominence with Fluminense since making his debut in 2013 and has so far scored two goals in 30 appearances for the first-team.

In January, he also netted once as part of a Brazil under-20 side that came 4th at the 2015 South American Youth Football Championship, while he scored six times in 17 matches for the Seleção’s under-17 outfit.
