The news that Barcelona offered Chelsea a player-plus-cash deal worth £50million for Willian, and that it was swiftly turned down, left some in football flabbergasted.
So much so that it even prompted one online outlet to publish a feature, entitled: 'Twenty reasons why Chelsea are absolutely mad to continue rejecting bids for Willian.'
While that is a tad over the top, it is not entirely wrong. Chelsea should be asking Barcelona where to sign, with Malcom the winger they would receive in return.
Malcom is raw, but he is 21 years old.
