Willian could play for Barcelona next season

Reports suggest that, along with Lozano, Barcelona's summer wishlist includes Chelsea's Willian, whose experience will bring a much-needed dynamism up front.

Willian has been one of the most consistent performers for Chelsea and certainly showed his worth when the two teams met in the Champions League last season. Willian is a quick forward, who can cut inside from the wings and also possesses incredible dead-ball abilities, all of which will make him a good signing.

Willian had 6 goals and 7 assists last season, making him an ideal choice to come off the bench for the current forwards. Barcelona will want to bring down the price for the Brazilian, given an underwhelming world cup by his standards. Should a right price be agreed, Willian could be donning the Blaugrana colors in the coming season

The 30-year old's talent is no doubt and will add depth to the depleted forward line of Barcelona. With deadly pace, trickery and an eye for a pass, Willian is an ideal choice to come off the bench, to decide games for Barcelona.

According to Daily star in the UK, Barcelona have met with Kian Joorabchian, Willian's agent and personal terms have been agreed between the two parties. Chelsea value the player at around 80 million, a fee that the Spanish club have balked at. Any deal should be completed quickly as Jose Mourinho is a long-term admirer of the forward and wants to bring him to Old Trafford.
