DBasia.news – Chelsea midfielder, Willian, raised his voice about the speculation of him during the 2018 summer transfer market. The curly player admitted that he would leave if Antonio Conte remains as The Blues’ manager.
Willian faced some problems during the 2017-2018 season, the moment when Antonio Conte became the architect of The Blues. The Brasil national team player failed to pass the starting lineup and often sat on the bench.
As a result, Willian upset and wants to leave. Manchester United and Barcelona are two clubs approaching him.
Moreover, some British media reported Willian had a meeting with Jose Mourinho to bring him to The Red Devils. No wonder, Willian is close with The Special One back to the time when they were still in Chelsea.

But, Maurizio Sarri’s arrival changed his mind. The 30-year-old player optimists that his career will be better under Sarri.
“No chance. No chance. No,” Willian told Evening Standard when asked if he would still be a Chelsea player if Conte had remained.
“I’m here. I’m here because I want to play for Chelsea. I will only leave if Chelsea want me to go,” said the Corinthians former player.
Willian became the starter during the match who brought Chelsea as the winner, 3-0 against Huddersfield during the first week of 2018-2019 Premier League at John Smith’s Stadium, Saturday (11/8). Moreover, the player also scored one assist in the match.
