Brazilian midfielder Liane confirmed the end of his career with Chelsea in the summer of this year, after the curtain fell on negotiations with the London Football Club over the extension of his contract, without reaching an agreement.
"It's over," said the 31-year-old Brazilian winger, of the "Expedienti Futbol" program broadcast by the Brazilian "Fox Sports" network. Everyone knows that my contract expires after a few months. "Renovation is a thorny thing."
He revealed that «Chelsea suggested (extension) two additional years, and I wanted three. We stopped talking, there will be no "additional, follow-up" negotiations at the moment, I am not thinking of returning to Brazil and my goal is to stay in Europe.
Wylan joined Chelsea in 2013 from Shakhtar Daniyetsk of Ukraine in a deal that was supposed to take place with arch-rival London Spurs for 30 million pounds, but the Blues were ahead in obtaining his services.
In keeping with his philosophy of not extending the contract for players over thirty for more than two years, coach Frank Lampard's team clashed with the Brazilian's desire to sign for an additional three years, which eventually led to the stalling of negotiations between the two parties.
The newspaper «Metro» that the other London neighbor Arsenal is one of the teams interested in obtaining the services of the Brazilian, who will become a free player in the summer of 2020, and thus will move without a financial allowance.
The question mark remains on whether Willian will remain with Chelsea until after his contract expires in June, if the decision is taken to complete the Premier League beyond this date, after stopping indefinitely nine stages before its end, due to the outbreak of the Corona virus.
