The Blues will see two players depart as they continue to trim their squad
Chelsea's Kenedy has officially joined Flamengo on a season-long loan, while Goal can also confirm left-back Emerson Palmieri is closing in on a loan move to Lyon.
Before departing, Kenedy extended his contract with Chelsea, the club he joined in 2015 from Fluminense.
Flamengo will pay Chelsea a €500,000 fee to take Kenedy on loan and hold a €10 million (£8.5m/$12m) option to purchase the Brazilian at season's end.
