Chelsea winger Willian has confirmed that he has so far been unable to reach an agreement with Chelsea on the terms of a new contract.
The Brazilian’s current deal expires this summer, and he asks for a three-year extension, while the club are only ready to offer a two-year one.
“It’s a difficult situation because Chelsea offered me two years and they are not going to change what they offered. I said I wanted three more years,” the 31-year-old told Esporte Interativo.
“The situation is difficult because of this. I really don’t know if it will be possible [to stay]. My goal is to continue working and focus on the remainder of the season, so that Chelsea can continue winning games.
“I have a clear head and focused for the rest of the season that we have left.
“I think it’s difficult [to stay]. Let’s see what happens.”
Willian was a regular starter under his former teammate Frank Lampard until recently. However, he has not been named in the line-up in three out of the last five games in all competitions, including a 3-0 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
