Willian is set to depart Chelsea when his contract expires in the summer with talks between the Brazilian and the Blues over a new deal reportedly dead in the water. The winger now looks most likely to join Arsenal or Tottenham in a high-profile switch across London.
Willian is out of contract at the end of June and has been unable to agree new terms with Chelsea to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge.
The 31-year-old has spoken of his desire to remain at the club but is demanding a three-year contract – something Chelsea are unable to match.
The Blues have put a two-year offer on the table, which is unusual considering their previous policy of only offering one-year extensions to players over the age of 30.
However, Willian is also thought to want a pay rise which has put a spanner in the negotiations.
