PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are to battle with Arsenal and Tottenham over Chelsea winger Willian, according to reports in France.
The Brazilian is set to become one of the summer market’s hottest properties if he cannot agree to a new deal at Stamford Bridge.
With Chelsea deemed unlikely to offer the 31-year-old his desired three-year deal, he will become a free agent at the end of the season.
Le10Sport report on PSG holding plenty of interest in offering Willian a chance to play for the Ligue 1 champions.
Arsenal, Barcelona and Spurs are also keeping an eye on his situation but Real Madrid are said to have turned down a chance to put in a bid.
Ok Diario detail how Zinedine Zidane felt the midfielder was too old to invest in with his right-wing position also not a priority at the Bernabeu.
Last month, Willian appeared to accept that his seven-year stay at Chelsea was over after contract talks ended.
He told Expediente Futebol: “I think it will be very difficult for me to renew because Chelsea offered me two years, I asked for three and it ended there.
“We didn’t talk anymore, we didn’t negotiate anymore.
“My desire is to stay in the Premier League, but I don’t rule out playing in other leagues.”
Remaining in London may also be a priority for Willian and the chances of a reunion with Jose Mourinho received a boost when he claimed he has “no problem” with joining one of Chelsea’s rivals.
Should the player opt for a move to Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has highlighted his preference that a decision is taken quickly and clearly.
Frank Lampard has told Chelsea fans that he will “look at” the contract situation of those players due to leave the club, including Pedro.
