Barcelona are considering yet another move for Willian, and the La Liga giants have always been linked with a move for the Brazilian, but their interest dates back 10 years. He is currently a Chelsea man but will be a free agent next summer and that has caused a few problems for the Blues.

Barcelona finally might see their long-living wish of bringing Willian to Camp Nou become reality as he could come to Barcelona on a free transfer once his contract expires at Chelsea reports Mundo Deportivo. The Spanish club have been keen to bring him to Spain over the last few years but their interest in the 31-year-old goes back almost ten years. The Spanish news outlet reports that Barcelona did not have the resources to sign Willian from Shakhtar Donetsk and he moved to Anzhi Makhachkala. 

A year later, Willian’s progress earned him a move to the Premier League, with Tottenham and Chelsea keen on the move. The North London side almost signed the Brazilian but that's when Chelsea came calling with a much bigger offer and off went the Brazilian to the Stamford Bridge. Willian's performances since then have been brilliant for the Blues, which saw Barcelona keen on another move.

The La Liga giants were heavily linked with a move last summer after the Brazilian impressed Ernesto Valverde. But Barcelona saw their two bids of €40 million and €60 million rejected by Chelsea before another bid this summer was rejected as well. However, the Brazilian will be a free agent next summer and Barcelona haven't lost sight of the winger, with Willian refusing to sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge and that has made Camp Nou bosses more hopeful than ever.
