Willian Agrees to Stay at Chelsea until the End of the Season

DBasia.news – Chelsea winger Willian has reportedly agreed to stay at Stamford Bridges until the end of the season or until the domestic competition is over.

Frank Lampard got the good news after the 31-year-old player agreed to stay until the domestic season was over, but his fate was unclear whether he would play in the Champions League in August.

The suspension of soccer competitions throughout Europe because of the corona virus pandemic has made the season extended so that the players whose contracts expire on June 30^th have no clear fate.

FIFA has issued a guide that players and clubs should try to end the season with their current squad, but emphasized that there must be agreement between the two parties to continue working together.

Chelsea themselves are still trying to make a deal with Pedro to keep him for a month or more when he reportedly agreed to join Rome next season.

Pedro’s agreement is complicated because the Spaniard has agreed to a deal as a free transfer player with Roma. Meanwhile, Willian has not agreed to terms with any club for the 2020-21 season.

Chelsea still have time to agree to a long-term agreement with Willian, who is asking for a three-year contract, but the Blues are currently only willing to sign him in the short term.

Arsenal and Tottenham are considered to be two clubs interested in the Brazilian, who claims that his family feels comfortable living in London.

Meanwhile, Chelsea managed to overcome the same problem as Willian and Pedro when they activated the contract extension clauses Olivier Giroud and Willy Caballero for one year.

Lampard also stressed the importance of maintaining his squad in the final weeks of the season in a crucial period to secure the top four and qualify for the Champions League next season.

“We want them to extend their stay and make sure they can end this season,” Lampard said.
