John Kennedy of Fluminense has reportedly been proposed again to Udinese, according to Tuttomercato. Udinese is interested in the player.

According to Messaggero Veneto, Udinese view John Kennedy as a versatile option to improve their frontline because he can play multiple positions in attack. The Italian club considers Fluminense's €10m valuation to be high. A significant effort to sign the player will only be made if Nicolo Zaniolo leaves in the summer. Furthermore, there is a possibility Kennedy may not want to play in Italy.

According to Brazilian sources and the Italian newspaper Messaggero Veneto, Udinese is closely monitoring Fluminense striker John Kennedy and intends to compete with Shakhtar Donetsk for him.

Udinese have contacted Fluminense to inquire about the terms of a potential transfer for 24-year-old Brazilian centre-forward John Kennedy. The Brazilian club is reportedly open to a sale if an offer exceeds €10m (£8.5m). English Championship clubs Watford and Wolves have also made enquiries about a possible summer transfer, and Italian side Cagliari has also shown interest. It is thought that no formal bids have been submitted. Fluminense's willingness to negotiate has provided a starting point for interested parties. Kennedy's contract is valid until December 2027, and he has scored 9 goals in 17 appearances in the 2025/2026 domestic league season. The Brazil U23 international has a market value of €9.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
