With Willian spending some time at home during social distancing, the Brazilian press has been repeatedly speaking to the Chelsea player lately.
Willian has spoken this week, this time to Gazeta Esportiva, but not about the pandemic. He’s been talking about his future at Chelsea now.
“Everyone knows that my contract ends in July. As I said before, I had a conversation with Chelsea, they offered me a two-year contract, I asked for three and stopped there,” Willian told Gazeta Esportiva.
“It stayed that way. I really don’t know how to tell you what my future will be, if I’m going to stay, if I’m going to leave,”
Gazeta Esportiva asked Willian if there’s a chance he could be back in Brazil in the summer, but he claims his plans are to stay in Europe.
“I don’t think about going back to Brazil now. I believe I have a market here in Europe. My goal is to stay here.”
They mentioned that Corinthians fans have been asking him to go back to the club where he grew up, but he says this is really not his intention at the moment.
“I follow, whenever I can, I watch the games, when I can too. I receive messages asking for my return, I feel their affection too, but it is not my goal to return to Brazil.”
Gazeta uses a headline saying Willian has a ‘plotted plan’ in case he doesn’t renew his contract with Chelsea. But that’s something directed to Corinthians fans, since it’s clear there’s nothing decided about his future in Europe.

William wishes to play and retire at Chelsea that's why he is seeking for 3yrs contract extension.. That's not bah though cos whenever he is on the pitch he try to give his best for the team and you know he won't do it alone without the help of other players... he have been royal to the club since joining all those then have left except him and azpi.. please board and fans let's consider the love he has for the club and his royalty... thanks for understanding

Chelsea has changed its contract renewal for players over 30 yrs just for you and now you want to set your own rules?

After the two offered to you, why don't you work your way to get the third you are insisting now, it's that simple. Remember the club had overlooked it's standing rules for over 30 players like you,please just sign in and let's match forward.

Why are we offering him a new contract? He doesn't deserve it. I hope we can just sell him or let him go for free. He's a liability to our team anymore and we can certainly replace him with better players 🙄

We’ve had enough of this willian saga , I think the two years Chelseafc offerd him is the best gift they could give him and besides he is not performing too well looking at his stats this season,there are more players waiting to grab opportunity in the team if he feels the offer is not good he should go.
