Juventus are reportedly the frontrunners to sign Willian on a free transfer when his contract concludes with Chelsea in the summer.

The Blues have been reluctant to meet Willian's demands for a three-year deal and it appears likely that he will leave the club when his contract expires.

According to Tuttosport, the Bianconeri have been in regular contact with Willian's representative and they are leading the race to sign the former Shakhtar Donetsk attacker.

The likes of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also in the running to sign the wide player but the Bianconeri are aiming to lure him to the Serie A by offering him a sizeable signing-on fee.

Willian is currently contracted with the Blues until June 30 but he has recently indicated that he would be prepared to stay for at least another month, if the season is delayed further due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Willian has contributed seven goals and six assists for the Blues this term.
