Willian responds to Barcelona speculation

Wilian stays quiet regarding Barca talk

Brazil international Willian has ignored the ongoing speculation over his future. The Chelsea attacker has been linked with both Barcelona and Manchester United in recent weeks but the attacker has insisted that he is focused on the national team for the moment.



Speaking to reporters, he said: "People speculate a lot and we see a lot of things on the Internet but this is not the time to talk about this. I've not received any information about whether [Barca's interest] is true. I'm trying to focus on the national team at the moment."

Willian had been in-and-out of the Blues starting lineup during the course of the 2017/18 season but he still managed to contribute 13 goals across all competitions.

Despite this, his future has been a topic of speculation amid his shrewd relationship with manager Antonio Conte and the Brazilian's future may depend on whether the new head coach assures him of regular gametime next term.

Willian is presently with the Brazilian national team at the summer World Cup where he has started in every game. The 29-year-old is expected to face Belgium in the quarter-final of the World Cup on Friday night.Wil
