Chelsea have reportedly agreed to loan out versatile winger Kenedy to Brazilian side Flamengo this summer.
The 25-year-old has entered the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge and is considered surplus to requirements by head coach Thomas Tuchel.
According to Goal, Kenedy is close to completing a move back to his homeland and there is an option to make the deal permanent for around £8m next summer.
Kenedy spent last season on loan at La Liga side Granada, where he made 44 appearances across all competitions and scored eight goals.
The Brazilian has also had loans with Getafe, Newcastle United and Watford, though he was only able to find the net six times during those three temporary spells away from Chelsea.
Kenedy joined the Blues in 2015 from Fluminense, but he has been unable to cement his place as a first-team regular, making just 27 senior appearances across all competitions.
