Barcelona add Willian to list of targets
As revealed by 'France Football', Barcelona will focus on signing another Brazilian in the Premier League after failing in their pursuit of Philippe Coutinho.
Barcelona continue to scour the market in search of a footballer to fill the void left by Neymar after his world-record transfer to PSG, as well as attempting to bolster the squad in midfield.
After missing out on Coutinho, the Catalan club have switched objectives, and have now decided to go for Willian. The Brazilian fell down the pecking order at Chelsea under Conte and plays alongside Neymar and Coutinho in his national team.
He shares a good relationship with Paulinho, Barcelona's latest recruit, and could be a good option given his current situation at Chelsea. Especially when Hazard returns from his injury.
'France Football' assured that, following complications in negotiations for Dembele, Di Maria and Coutinho, Barca have set their sights on the Chelsea playmaker. This summer, Willian came close to signing for United, and now it's Valverde's team who monitor his situation.
Time is running out and Barcelona need signings to lift spirits at the Camp Nou. They intend on breaking the bank for Willian.
