Barcelona eye move for Fluminense teenager - reports

Xinhua, March 5, 2015 Adjust font size:

Spanish giants Barcelona are considering a move for highly rated Brazilian teenager Kenedy, according to local media reports.

The 19-year-old impressed talent scouts during the South American under 20 championships in Uruguay earlier this year, Lancenet reported.

The striker has been compared to Brazil and Zenit Saint Petersburg forward Hulk for his strength and powerful shooting.

Kenedy joined Brazilian top-flight club Fluminense in 2013 and has made 24 appearances for the Rio de Janeiro outfit.

"Fluminense is aware of the interest of other clubs and is already negotiating the sale of [Kenedy's] economic rights," the portal added. Endi
