TOP STORY: Atletico eyeing surprise Willian swoop

Atletico Madrid are closely monitoring the contract situation of Chelsea midfielder Willian, according to Tuttomercatoweb, with manager Diego Simeone preparing a summer swoop for the Brazilian on a free transfer.

The report suggests a two-year contract offer is on the table from Frank Lampard's side, but the former Shakhtar Donetsk winger wants an additional 12 months on top of that, and with talks appearing to stall yet again, Atletico are set to make their move in the coming months.
