After Kenedy impressed during his short January loan spell in 2018, it was simply no brainer for Newcastle to sign him again – on a season-long loan – from Chelsea last summer.
However, the 23-year-old failed to recapture the form he showed earlier, and really cut a disappointing figure with just one goal in 25 Premier League games.
Although Rafael Benitez has refused to close the door on the possibility of signing Kenedy this summer, the Spaniard has admitted that signing the Brazilian would be difficult.
Chelsea have slapped a £30million price tag and it would prove to be a major stumbling block for Newcastle United to sign him permanently.
