Real Madrid 'turn down Willian move'

Real Madrid have reportedly turned down the chance to sign Chelsea attacker Willian on a free transfer.

The Blues are allegedly in negotiations with the Brazil international over a new deal, but as it stands, the 31-year-old will be out of contract at the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

Willian would be free to agree a pre-contract with a foreign club at the start of 2020 if he failed to sign an extension with Chelsea, and Barcelona have been strongly linked with a swoop.

According to Defensa Central, the South American has also been offered to Madrid, but Zinedine Zidane's side signalled that they would not be interested in signing him on a free transfer.

The report claims that Los Blancos are not in the market for a new wide attacker due to the presence of Brazilian youngsters Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes.

Willian has contributed three goals and three assists in 15 appearances for Frank Lampard's side this season.
