Chelsea in-form winger Willian insists he has unfinished business in Europe but plans to play in the MLS before the end of his career.
Willian is no longer in the prime of his footballing career, but the Brazilian is still very much part of the plans at Stamford Bridge, as Frank Lampard has admitted that he would like to keep the midfielder at the club this summer window.
But away from all the speculation, Willian has opened up and revealed his future plans, before finishing off his career over in America: ‘I have plans to stay in Europe and try to play here maybe for three or four more seasons,” Willian told Brasil’s Futebol no Mundo.
‘I believe I can still perform on a high level. After that, when I will be 35, 36 years old, I intend to go to the United States and play there. It is a goal that I have.
‘I don’t rule out returning to Brazil, it is my country and my culture. But returning to Brazil would not be my first choice if I leave Europe. I have the wish to play in the United States also because of my family, being able to live in the United States would be good.
‘My family would feel great and so would I. For now, Brazil is not crossing my mind. Of course, that could change and I can realize one day that I want to go back to Brazil.
“Maybe go back to Corinthians and retire with the club. But my goal right now is to stay in Europe, play for maybe three or four more seasons and then go to the United States and we will go from there.’ We hope that Willian gets a new deal, he has proven that he deserves one hasnt he?
