Barcelona desperate to land Chelsea star

Barcelona have submitted a new, second offer of £60m for Chelsea winger Willian after their first bid was rejected.The Catalans initially priced the Brazilian at £50m, but have now reportedly upped their figure.According to the Mail, Barcelona’s latest offer consists of £55m (plus £5m in add-ons) as they look to tempt the Blues into parting with the 29-year-old. Willian impressed for his country at the 2018 World Cup, despite quarter-final elimination at the hands of Belgium.

Manchester United have been strongly linked with a move for the 29-year-old over the last month, and it has been claimed that Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho is confident of signing the Brazilian this summer.However, according to the Daily Mail, having had an opening £50m bid rejected by Chelsea, Barcelona have now returned with a £60m offer as they attempt to bring the versatile attacker to Camp Nou ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.Willian, who was in action for Brazil at the 2018 World Cup, is believed to still be on poor terms with Antonio Conte, who remains in charge of Chelsea despite a whole host of speculation surrounding his future.
