Speculation over Willian’s future continues

A look at some of the stories involving Chelsea in Saturday’s newspapers…

Manchester United have had a bid for Willian accepted, it has been claimed.

The Express run a story based on one by Italian publication Tuttosport claiming that a £66m bid by United for Willian has been
accepted by Chelsea.

United’s former Blues boss Jose Mourinho is keen to be reunited with him at Old Trafford.

Barcelona, meanwhile, have had offers for Willian rejected and it is now claimed that United are poised to sign him.

There were recently also reports of Real Madrid being set to sign Eden Hazard and the Belgian making it clear he wanted to leave Chelsea.

The Daily Mail now say Chelsea do not believe Hazard will push for a move and that the club would want a world-record fee in excess of £200m in order to sell him.

The Express say new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri could make Hazard captain as part of his attempts to keep him.

And the Daily Star reports that bookmakers have Chelsea as odds-on favourites to sign Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha.
