Barcelona, while they continue to pursue Kante, has made two bids for Willian, with the second believed to be worth up to £53m. Sky Sports broke the news of Barcelona's initial £50m bid for the Brazilian last week, with talks still ongoing between the two clubs and representatives of the player.

Sky sources understand the La Liga champions first began efforts to lure Willian to the Nou Camp as long as three months ago. Reported in May, Manchester United were also interested in signing the versatile winger, who received good reviews for his showings during the World Cup, despite Brazil's exit at the hands of Belgium in the quarter-finals.

Willian made 55 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea last season, scoring 13 goals despite the club finishing 5th in the league. The Brazilian has scored 44 goals in 236 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala in 2013.
