Willian never considered leaving 'perfect' Chelsea for Man Utd or Barcelona

Willian claims “everything is perfect” for him at Chelsea, with summer talk of moves to Manchester United or Barcelona having been shrugged off.

Having enjoyed the most productive season of his career to date in 2017-18, the Brazil international found himself as a man in demand.

He delivered a personal best 13 goals across all competitions last season, while taking in 55 appearances.

A reunion with former Blues boss Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford was mooted, with the Portuguese known to be an admirer of the qualities Willian brings to any given fold.

La Liga giants Barcelona were also reported to be mulling over an approach as they sought to bring greater attacking spark into their ranks.
