Manchester United have had a £67m bid accepted by Chelsea for Willian, according to Tuttosport (h/t Daily Star). The Brazilian had been linked with a move away from the Blues for a while and it seems we are willing to let him go for a massive sum.
Willian had played in the World Cup for Brazil too and had been a target for Barcelona, with us rejecting three bids made by the Catalan giants.
The winger was one of the more consistent players at the club, even during our poor season last time around but he would be reuniting with Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford should the move be completed soon.
The Chelsea fans also had their say regarding the possible transfer of the 29-year-old and the bid made by United. Here are some of the best reactions.
I don’t think Chelsea will let Willian go if Martial doesn’t come to us though

If the newspapers are correct we have sold Willian to Manchester United! Why the fuck does Chelsea do things like this? Why couldnt we accept a Barcelona bid? This is so stupid imo! We are seriously asking for trouble by selling our players to rival clubs ffs

Why is so many Chelsea fans ain’t Willian. Think he is a decent player. Was our best player when everyone else down tools in the 15/16 season. Don’t think he deserves the level hate he is getting.

Man Utd doesn’t want to sell martial to a direct rival but Chelsea wants to sell Willian to them. Include martial in the deal or no deal

Should swap for Martial

If Man Utd just pay full cash for Willian I can see us going for Bailey if Martial isn’t part of the deal as we’d need a new Winger #CFC
