Brassen joined the club in 2013 and has won two league titles with the London club. But the 31-year-old announces that his days at the club are counted, as his contract expires on June 30. The reason should be that the club cannot meet Willian's demands.

- Chelsea offers me a two-year contract, but I want a three-year contract. We are no longer talking and there will be no further negotiations.

However, Willian's role in the team has become less recent. Among other things, coach Frank Lampard has prioritized younger players, such as Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Should the Premier League start this summer and extend beyond the end of June / July, Willian could be lost to Chelsea, who are chasing a Champions League spot. However, Uefa has announced that it is currently looking at the possibilities of changing the transition window due to the corona pandemic.
