According to Simon Johnson – Chelsea’s reporter for the Evening Standard – there IS a clause that’s been included in Kenedy’s loan deal which will allow us to sign the Brazilian on a permanent deal next summer.
This comes as a huge relief, meaning we WILL have the option to sign the 22-year-old on a permanent deal once his season-long loan deal expires this time next season.
With Kenedy on his way to Tyneside and all set to complete a medical on Tuesday, here’s what Chelsea reporter Simon Johnson has had to say on the deal – confirming the clause in the loan deal which looks set to make the move permanent next summer:
Been advised Kenedy will undergo a medical in the morning and there is a clause included to make move permanent next year #nufc #cfc https://t.co/FkQRXt0bKq

This is great news and a deal that should suit us down to the ground, securing his services for another season in a way that won’t eat into this summer’s budget too much.
To have him back for the season is a huge boost as it is, but to find out that we WILL have the option to sign him permanently next summer is the cherry on top.
Brilliant stuff. I can’t wait to see him back playing in the black and white shirt next season!
What is this budget people keep on about. There is no budget from where Im sitting.

Good thinking by Chelsea and Kenedy doing a one year option.
If Rafa walks, not having signed due to Ashley doing what he does best, then Kenedy won’t be stuck at Newcastle playing under fat Sam-Kinnear-Pardew.
