Out of contract in the summer, the Brazilian is seeking a three-year deal not thought to be on offer at Stamford Bridge.

And he is sounding out a potentially sensational move to Anfield.

Liverpool do have previous in snapping up Chelsea players on the cheap, having brought in Dominic Solanke when his contract expired in 2017 after free agent Joe Cole joined ten years ago.

Sport Witness quote a report from Barcelona-based daily Sport that describes Willian as in talks with the Reds.

The player's agent, Kia Joorabchian, is working hard to secure his client's future for next season - and is the same man who represents Chelsea target Philippe Coutinho.

Having reportedly turned down a move for old favourite Coutinho, Liverpool are said to have gone back to Joorabchian to discuss Willian.

Furthermore, Jurgen Klopp's side have been touted to add to their attack this summer with RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner a possible target.

Arsenal, Tottenham, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have all been talked about as ready to offer Willian a deal, with free agents potentially holding extra value in a transfer window during the coronavirus pandemic.

But to secure the 31-year-old, they will have to meet his public demands for a three-year deal.

Earlier this month, he told Expediente Futebol: “Everyone knows that my contract ends now in a few months, so the renewal is really a difficult thing to happen.

"I think it will be very difficult for me to renew because Chelsea offered me two years, I asked for three and it ended there.

"We didn’t talk anymore, we didn’t negotiate anymore.

"My desire is to stay in the Premier League, but I don’t rule out playing in other leagues."

He later added to AP: "I have to discuss with the club to see what we are going to do. But for me, from my side, I have no problem to play until the end of the season."
