Five-time European champions Barcelona are said to be interested in signing Chelsea winger Willian ahead of the transfer market next summer.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan giants are eyeing a free transfer for Willian whose Chelsea contract ends next summer.
His contract ends at Chelsea when the current season draws to a close and Barcelona want to swoop for him on a free transfer afterward.
Barcelona had previously tried to sign the Brazilian international especially earlier in the winter transfer window in January this year.
The Spanish champions and rivals Atletico Madrid were keen on signing Willian in January but Chelsea were adamant that he’s not for sale.

Paris Saint Germain (PSG) were also interested in the Brazilian international in the summer but he opted to spend the season as part of the revolution at Chelsea.
Willian had a very good season as he was part of the Brazilian squad that won the 2019 COPA America tournament on home soil in the summer.
His summer went from good to better after new Chelsea manager Frank Lampard handed him the jersey number 10 on the back of Eden Hazard’s move to Real Madrid.
Willian has been able to repay the faith in him by former Blues teammate and new Chelsea manager Frank Lampard.
