Willian has reportedly been persuaded to join Barcelona this summer by international team mate Philippe Coutinho.
The 29-year-old has spent the past five seasons at Chelsea but has been heavily linked with a transfer away during the past two windows.
Manchester United were believed to be keen on landing the forward bus according to a story in the Catalan press on Friday he’s decided to pursue a switch to Camp Nou.
Sport have revealed that it was Coutinho who convinced the former Shakhtar Dontesk man that his new home should be with the Blaugrana, with the pair constantly chatting about a potential move during the World Cup.
The Blues are set to put up a difficult fight in order to keep their Samba superstar though.
With Eden Hazard set to depart Stamford Bridge, the club are set to do all they can to try and keep Willian and will look to reject any bids under the €120m. mark.
