According to recent reports, Barcelona are preparing to use Malcom as part of a major deal to secure the services of Willian from Chelsea. It is understood that Barca are set to reignite their interest for the Brazilian international and are ready to give away Malcom to lure Willian to the Nou Camp. The West London side had previously rejected offers from the Catalans for the Brazilian midfielder, but it seems Ernesto Valverde’s team are not willing to give up without a fight.
Willian’s Incredible Career At Chelsea
Willian has made a bright start to this campaign and his contributions on the pitch have helped Chelsea remain unbeaten in the Premier League. The 30-year-old signed for the Blues from Anzhi Makhachkala in the summer of 2013 and has gone on to win the Premier League twice while also earning a winner’s medal in the FA Cup and the English League Cup during his time at Stamford Bridge.
The Brazilian sensation has made 17 appearances for the West London giants this season, finding the back of the net three times while grabbing five assists in all competitions.
What Does The Brazilian Talent Add To Sarri’s Team?
Willian is blessed with incredible pace and is a very capable dribbler with the ball. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve and can get the better of any defender in European football. Moreover, the Brazilian international is a match-winner which is precisely why Chelsea cannot afford to lose him at the moment.
Should Sarri Sell Him To Barcelona?
He has a big part to play if the Pensioners are to be successful under Sarri in the coming years. Willian has struck up a fantastic understanding with the likes of Eden Hazard, Pedro and Alvaro Morata while operating as a right-sided winger at Stamford Bridge.
Even though the addition of Malcom could give Sarri something to work with, it is not worth losing a player of Willian’s capability in the long-run. Hence, the Chelsea boss should do everything he can to fend off Barca’s interest and keep hold of his prized asset beyond the end of this campaign.
