TRANSFER: Liverpool discussing possible free transfer for Willian

Willian Willian

Chelse's Willian could be on the move to run-away league leader, Liverpool as reports in Spain revealed that both parties are in talks for a possible free transfer.

The Brazillian will be out of contract by the end of this summer and Chelsea's offer of a two-year extension does not meet Willian's demand for three years.

Sport Witness quote a report from Barcelona-based daily Sport that describes Willian as in talks with the Reds.

Jurgen Klopp's side are looking bolster their attack this summer with RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner a possible target.

A move for Willian will add the Brazillian to the list of players to swap Stamford Bridge for Anfield.

Willian's agent, Kia Joorabchian, is working hard to secure his client's future for next season

Earlier this month, the Brazillian told Expediente Futebol: “Everyone knows that my contract ends now in a few months, so the renewal is really a difficult thing to happen.

“I think it will be very difficult for me to renew because Chelsea offered me two years, I asked for three and it ended there.

“We didn’t talk anymore, we didn’t negotiate anymore.

“My desire is to stay in the Premier League, but I don’t rule out playing in other leagues."

He later added to AP: "I have to discuss with the club to see what we are going to do. But for me, from my side, I have no problem to play until the end of the season."

Arsenal, Tottenham, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have all been linked with a move for the 31-year-old.
