According to The Daily Mirror, Real Madrid have turned down the opportunity to sign Willian from Chelsea on a free transfer.
Willian is out of contract for the west London side this summer and he has been linked with a move to a host of Premier League sides.
Indeed, Arsenal and Tottenham are keen on the Brazilian, who is eager to remain in London, while Liverpool have been credited with an interest.
Willian has been linked with a switch to Spain in the past, notably to Real Madrid’s fierce rivals Barcelona.
Los Blancos were sounded out about the possibility of a move for Willian, but the LaLiga powerhouse are reluctant to offer him a three-year deal.
Head coach Zinedine Zidane is believed to be a fan of the player, yet has decided against making a move for the 31-year-old.
Willian has been a regular feature for the Blues since his contentious move to Stamford Bridge in 2013, but it appears as though his seven-year stay at the club is drawing to a close.
