Ex-Arsenal and Chelsea forward Willian agrees to terminate his contract with Brazilian side Corinthians following their Copa Libertadores exit on Wednesday

Brazilian forward Willian has agreed to terminate his contract with Corinthians following their Copa Libertadores exit.

Corinthians lost 3-0 on aggregate to Flamengo in the quarter-finals of the tournament on Wednesday, with the former Arsenal and Chelsea winger ending his stay at the club soon after.

The 34-year-old left the Gunners for his native Brazil last summer on a free transfer just one season into his three-year deal at the Emirates and had initially agreed a two-year deal at the Brazilian side before Wednesday's premature cancellation.

The 34-year-old's time with his boyhood club came to an unceremonious end after Corinthians were dumped out by Flamengo, and his departure comes just three days before a crucial derby against Palmeiras in the league.
