The Brazil international was the subject of intense interest from the Spanish club, but they have instead signed Malcom from Bordeaux
Willian has confirmed that Barcelona were the only club who made a bid for him during the summer, thus rejecting reports of an offer from Manchester United.
Barca were in talks with Chelsea over a potential deal for Willian, but the move collapsed and the Spanish club instead signed winger Malcom from Bordeaux.
Willian has now revealed that he knew of the Catalan club's offer, but says they were the only side to formalise their interest, despite reports of interest from his former manager, Jose Mourinho.
