Liverpool has become a surprise candidate to sign Chelsea Willian winger in a free transfer, according to a report by Sport (h / t Sport Witness).
Willian has been with the Blues for the past six and a half years, but there are questions about whether he would stick with the west side of London beyond the current season.
The Brazilian’s contract with the Blues expires on June 30, but he has already stated that he will remain loyal to the club until the season is completed, which has been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Players like Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are credited with an interest in signing the 31-year-old winger, but Jurgen Klopp’s side is now reported to have gone in search of the player.
Obviously, the Merseyside giants are looking for creative players to improve their depth of attack and it is suggested that Willian be offered “very favorable terms”.
It is understood that Willian demands a three-year contract beyond the current campaign and the proposal has already been rejected by Chelsea, who is reluctant to offer him more than two seasons.
Staying in the Premier League will definitely remain a priority for Willian this summer, but it remains to be seen if he would be content with a backup role at Anfield.
Klopp has Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane as the undisputed attacking players in his setup and the Brazilian may have a hard time commanding an early role before the duo.
Willian will turn 32 at the start of next season, but he remains a top-notch artist of quality and has featured some standout performances for the Blues this season.
Blues manager Frank Lampard has regularly chosen the £ 120,000 a week attacker in the opening XI of this period. The former Shakhtar Donetsk man has accumulated seven goals and six assists from 37 appearances in all competitions.
