Chelsea's Willian Declines Deal Offer From Barcelona, Wants To Continue With Chelsea Instead

FC Barcelona's hunt for Chelsea's winger Willian was not a hoax, as the player confirmed he was "officially" offered a deal from the Spanairds.

The Brazil international told ESPN about declining at offer from Nou Camp in an interview after Chelsea's 0-2 defeat to Manchester City at the FA Community Shield match on Sunday. 

The 29-year-old reiterated his intentions to stay at Stanford Bridge in spite of an official offer he received from the La Liga champions as he says "The only club I knew that really made an official offer for me was Barcelona."
Affirming his long term interest to remain with Chelsea until he is asked to leave he says "I have my head here and I intended to continue in the club unless the club wants to sell me. " 

Willian joined Chelsea from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala in 2013 and has made 166 appearances scoring 25 goals.
