NEWCASTLE reportedly fear missing out on loan star Kenedy after some recent fine performances.
The Northern Echo claims Rafa Benitez desperately wants to sign the Brazilian from Chelsea when his loan deal expires this summer.
But following claims of interest from Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, Newcastle believe Chelsea are ready to play a waiting game in order to drive up the price in a bidding war.
Kenedy, 22, has been sensational since moving to St James’ Park in January.
The versatile winger, who can also play at full-back or as a striker, has two goals in six Premier League matches.
His arrival at Newcastle has coincided with a dramatic upturn in form, with the Magpies moving well clear of the relegation battle into 10th place.

It’s believed Kenedy faces a struggle to break into Chelsea’s side next season, with the likes of Willian, Pedro and Eden Hazard all ahead in the pecking order.
And the Stamford Bridge hierarchy may not be able to resist sizable offers should they arrive this summer.
