Ahead of the summer transfer window, Samba star Willian has confirmed that he will not be leaving Chelsea after all.
Willian struggled for regular playing time under Chelsea’s new Italian boss Antonio Conte this season. The winger could only start just 15 games in the English top flight as the boss prefers the trio of Eden Hazard, Pedro Rodriguez, and Diego Costa up front in his new 3-4-3 system.
However, whenever he was called upon to the field of play, Willian is known to impress constantly despite all. And so, Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is said to be interested in bringing him to Old Trafford, with the former Chelsea coach making him a top target ahead of the summer transfer window. The Portuguese coach is also ready to offer him a huge wage if he should agree to make the switch.
However, even though Willian has admitted that he admires Mourinho so much, the Brazilian international is not interested in reuniting with him at Old Trafford as he insists he is staying at Chelsea.
Speaking to the Standard recently, he confirmed that he still have a contract with the premier league champions until 2020, and he is staying at the club.
He noted that he is glad Chelsea are back in the Champions League next season, and he is looking forward to playing in the Champions League wearing a Chelsea jersey.
