Manchester United agree fee for Chelsea attacker?

28 July 2018 - 10:02

Brazil international Willian is nearing an exit from Stamford Bridge with Chelsea said to have accepted a bid worth £66m from Manchester United.

  • Mauricio Pochettino confirms fresh injury blow for Chelsea star
  • Arsenal want to make four marquee signings this summer

  • Earlier this month, the attacker was the subject of three failed bids from Barcelona with the highest being £55m, and the Spanish champions thereafter opted to recruit Malcom from AS Roma instead.

    Willian has since been tipped to make his switch to Old Trafford and Tuttosport claims that the Blues have accepted a fee in the region of £66m to sanction his sale to their league rivals.

    The 29-year-old has improved season-by-season during his time in west London but the Blues are believed to have accepted the sum with just two years remaining on his existing deal.

    Nevertheless, United are not expected to pay the entire sum in one go and the move is likely to include several add-ons and clauses which could be activated depending on the player's showing in the coming years.
