Chelsea transfer news: Barcelona set to return with reasonable offer for Blues winger

Barcelona are set to return with another bid for Chelsea winger Willian this summer, according to a report published by The Sun.

As The Sun’s report mentions, Willian was subject to a hefty offer from Barca last summer, but Maurizio Sarri will have been keen to keep him as part of his new squad.

Willian has quite the reputation in football, despite his performances being the bane of many Chelsea’s fans’ lives over the past few years.

The Brazilian would perhaps have been sold if Antonio Conte remained at the Bridge. The pair had a frosty relationship – as proven by this, which we’re sure you’ll remember…

With Willian now in his 30s and his contract running low, now looks to be the perfect time to cash-in while we can still bank a considerable sum in exchange.

The Sun believe that Barcelona are putting together an offer in the region of £30M, which seems like a fair price to pay taking everything into account.

Christian Pulisic is set to arrive, while Callum Hudson-Odoi’s achilles injury could force him to stay. Either Willian or Pedro now need to depart, and it looks like it could be the former.
