Reports | Juventus considering January move for Willian
Juventus are eyeing a January move for Willian with the Chelsea misfit out of contract at the end of the current season. The Brazilian has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona and even Manchester United in the past but with the Blues under a transfer ban, no move materialized.
Despite bringing in a whole host of talent over the summer, Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri is reportedly not happy with the squad and is already eyeing winter additions. The Old Lady were linked with a myriad of attacking superstars over the summer, but the Express has reported that former Chelsea boss Sarri’s top winter target is Willian.
The 31-year-old Chelsea misfit has struggled to establish himself in new manager Frank Lampard’s squad so far and also happens to be in the final year of his contract. It does mean that he could leave as a free agent and will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs in January. The report further adds that while Juventus are keen on the move, Chelsea have offered the Brazilian a new deal.
A two-year agreement is on the table, but talks begun between the former Shakhtar Donetsk winger and the Blues haven’t taken place yet. The 31-year-old has been linked with a myriad of moves away in the past, with Manchester United and Barcelona amongst his top suitors.
