The Brazilian playmaker joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2013 and was one of the first signings of Mourinho’s second spell at Chelsea. The 32-year-old was offered two years contract extension but he wants three years deal. The West London club said it is impossible to satisfy him and that is it. Willian said he wants to stay in London as he and his family like the city and is very much settled in the English capital.

What Willian said?

“I like London and my family likes it too but that’s a question I do not know how to answer,” he replied when asked about his future in an interview with Bolivia Talk Show.

“We do have a good relationship, he is a big friend of mine,” Willian added about Mourinho.

“We speak to each other sometimes but when it comes to that [speaking about transfers] he respects me a lot.”

The Brazilian has won two Premier Leagues, one Carabao Cup, one FA Cup, and one Europa League in seven seasons for the Blues. He was also awarded Player of the season for Chelsea in 2016.
