DBasia.news – FC Barcelona haven’t got many players during the summer transfer market. Blaugrana just got Arthur Melo and Clement Lenglet, a midfielder and central defender. The transfer process isn’t over yet.
Barca is now seriously approaching Chelsea striker, Willian. It’s believed that they gave three offerings to The Blues with different prices. Barca expanded the offering up to £64,2M in the last offering.
Seeing Barcelona’s intention, it’s just about time to see the Brasilian player to leave the Stamford Bridge. Willian seems okay to join Barcelona as there’s his compatriot, Philippe Coutinho.
Barcelona’s interest appeared when they met with Chelsea during the Champions League last season. Willian performed well in the first leg and scored his name. His arrival will add variation to Ernesto Valverde team this season.
The potency of Willian’s move triggers the domino effect. Chelsea is starting to look for the successor. Anthony Martial, Manchester United striker was in the list of Chelsea’s target to replace Willian.
However, according to the London Evening Standard, Jose Mourinho won’t give permission for Martial to leave during the Premier League. The France 22-year-old striker was also the target of Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and AC Milan.
Man United seemed okay to let go of Martial, as long as he won’t join the England clubs. Red Devils will look for the successor by recruiting the long-targeted Ivan Perisic, Inter Milan player favored by Mourinho.
Martial, according to the agent’s info, wants to leave due to the bench experience last season. He always became the second or third option of Man United’s left attack, because Mourinho chose Alexis Sanchez or Marcus Rashford.
