Juventus contact Chelsea star Willian over January transfer as winger enters final six months of contract

The Mirror claims Maurizio Sarri will look to bring the Brazilian to Turin next month as he enters the final stages of his Stamford Bridge contract.

Juventus have made contact with Chelsea ace Willian over a January transfer

Willian, 31, has been in terrific form under new boss Frank Lampard, scoring three goals and assisting a further four in 21 appearances.

However, he is yet to be offered a new deal by Chelsea.

And there are fears he could soon be leaving alongside the likes of Pedro, Olivier Giroud and Marcos Alonso.

Barcelona have been tipped to snap up Willian on a free transfer when his contract expires next summer.

But Real Madrid are said to not be interested in striking an agreement with the winger.

Willian could yet end up penning a new deal at Chelsea.

However, former Blues boss Sarri is apparently keen on bringing the midfielder to Italy after falling behind Antonio Contes Inter Milan in the race for the Serie A title.

Sarri believes Willian can provide the ingenuity his side currently lack in the final third.

But the veteran is said to have told friends he would rather stay with Lampard than work under Sarri for a second time.

Willian is midway through his seventh season at Chelsea and has 55 goals in 313 appearances.

Hes won two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and the 2019 Europa League during that time.

Willian was named Chelseas Player of the Year for the 2015/16 season.

And he continues to be a fan favourite after impressing in his new No 10 shirt this term.
