Willian admits to receiving Barcelona offer as Chelsea contract continues to run down

The Brazil international forward says the Liga giants made an approach in 2018, but their advances were rebuffed by those at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea forward Willian has admitted to receiving an offer from Barcelona in 2018, with the Brazilian said to still be on the Blaugrana’s radar as his contract at Stamford Bridge runs down.

A move to Camp Nou for the South American has been mooted for several years.

No deal has been done, but that is not for a lack of trying on the part of the reigning La Liga champions.
