Chelsea winger Kenedy has reportedly been included in a new player-plus-cash deal for Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde.
The French defender is understood to have agreed personal terms on a switch to Stamford Bridge, but the ball is in Sevilla's court when it comes to negotiations.
Julen Lopetegui's side are thought to value Kounde at £68m with his deal not due to expire until 2024, and a part-exchange transfer involving Kurt Zouma now appears to be dead in the water.
Now, Goal reports that Brazilian attacker Kenedy was offered to Sevilla in a bid to drive the price down, with the 25-year-old now back in the English capital following a loan spell with Granada.
However, the report adds that Sevilla have no interest in signing Kenedy, who has also spent time on loan at Watford, Getafe and Newcastle United over the past few seasons.
Kenedy signed for Chelsea from Fluminense in 2015 but has only made 27 appearances for the club in all competitions, while he amassed eight goals and six assists from 44 games in a Granada shirt last term. body check tags ::
