Olympique Lyonnais have reportedly seen their advances for a promising Brazilian striker rejected.

Anxious to strengthen accordingly this winter, OL has a budget of 50 million euros. And while waiting for the arrivals of Lucas Perri and Adryelson, the Rhone leaders tried to secure the services of a young Brazilian prodigy.

According to information from Globo, the Gones would have made an offer of around 10 million euros to Fluminense for Kennedy. But the Brazilian team rejected Lyon’s proposal and closed the door to negotiations, wishing to keep their 21-year-old striker, still under contract until June 2026.
