Barcelona 'launch £60m Willian bid'

Barcelona have reportedly made an offer worth £60m for Chelsea attacker Willian.

Willian scored 13 times and registered 12 assists in 55 appearances for Chelsea last season, but his future has been called into question over the last couple of months.

Manchester United have been strongly linked with a move for the 29-year-old over the last month, and it has been claimed that Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho is confident of signing the Brazilian this summer.

However, according to the Daily Mail, having had an opening £50m bid rejected by Chelsea, Barcelona have now returned with a £60m offer as they attempt to bring the versatile attacker to Camp Nou ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.

Willian, who was in action for Brazil at the 2018 World Cup, is believed to still be on poor terms with Antonio Conte, who remains in charge of Chelsea despite a whole host of speculation surrounding his future.
