Barcelona are reportedly preparing an offer for Chelsea youngster Kenedy.

The 20-year-old joined his current club from Fluminense last summer and has broken into the first-team set-up at Stamford Bridge this season.

Despite spending the majority of his time in Brazil as an attacker, the left-sided player has been deployed as a full-back under Guus Hiddink this season and started their Champions League last-16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain last week.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have been tracking the Brazil Under-20 international for 'several years' and will attempt to turn his head with an offer at the end of the season.

Kenedy is believed to have cost Chelsea in the region of £6m last summer.
