Chelsea reject bids from Spanish giants Barcelona and Atletico Madrid

The Brazilian has entered the final 12 months of his deal at Stamford Bridge and, though he may be lost for free next summer, Chelsea are keen to keep hold of him.

Chelsea are currently serving the first part of their two-window transfer ban imposed by FIFA.

The Blues may be able to avoid losing Willian for free next summer if they can reach an agreement over a new two-year deal.

Barcelona have had a long-standing interest in Willian and saw three bids rejected by Chelsea last summer, with the final offer worth more than £55m.

They renewed their interest in January, but once again were unable to strike a deal with Chelsea.

Willian joined Chelsea from Russia side Anzhi Makhachkala for £30m in 2013 helping the club win the Premier League on two occasions.

He has featured 292 times in total for Chelsea, scoring 52 goals.
