Chelsea star reportedly a shock target for Barcelona

According to reports, Chelsea star Willian has emerged as a target of Barcelona.

The Spanish giants are looking to add attacking reinforcements to their side following the departure of Neymar to PSG in a World record deal.

The Catalan giants had been looking to recruit Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool, however would a deal for the Brazilian looking unlikely, they are now said to be exploring the possibility of signing alternative options.

Manchester United had tried to sign Willian last summer and Chelsea refused to sell. It could be difficult for Barca to try and negotiate a deal with the defending Premier League Champions.

However considering that many South American legends have donned the jersey of Barcelona during their careers, there is always the possibility that the player himself may be keen on a move to Ernesto Valverde’s team.

Though Barcelona may not succeed in recruiting Willian, they will definitely be making a few big-signings before the end of the transfer window.
