Juventus reportedly join Barcelona in the race to sign Chelsea winger Willian, whose current contract with the Blues expires at the end of the season.

Juventus are reportedly set to compete with Barcelona for the signature of Chelsea winger Willian.

The 31-year-old's current contract with Frank Lampard's side expires at the end of the season and he will be free to discuss a pre-contract move in January.

Barcelona had already been heavily linked with making a move for the Brazilian but now The Mirror reports that Juventus have entered the race to sign him.

Willian was expected to only have a limited role with the Blues following Lampard's appointment but he has been one of the club's best players this season, featuring 15 times in all competitions and captaining them in their recent 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

The former Anzhi Makhachkala man is one of Chelsea's longest-serving players along with Cesar Azpilicueta and Marco van Ginkel, and he has scored 55 goals in 307 appearances since joining the club in 2013.
