Barcelona have approached Chelsea midfielder Willian, as they seek alternatives to primary target Philippe Coutinho.
Nabil Djellit of France Football (h/t the Daily Express' Dan Gibbs) reported Barca are exploring the possibility of bringing Willian to the Camp Nou after the sale of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain. Blaugrana coach Ernesto Valverde needs to attract recruits before transfer deadline day, but the Blues player will be difficult to sign.
The 29-year-old has remained on the fringes of Chelsea manager Antonio Conte's plans, but he has often added impact from the bench as an able replacement.
