Chelsea have rejected £35m bids from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid for Willian, Sky Sports News understands. The Blues may be able to avoid losing Willian for free next summer if they can reach an agreement over a new two-year deal. Barcelona have had a long-standing interest in Willian and saw three bids rejected by Chelsea last summer, with the final offer worth more than £55m. They renewed their interest in January, but once again were unable to strike a deal with Chelsea. Willian joined Chelsea from Russia side Anzhi Makhachkala for £30m in 2013 and helped the club win the Premier League on two occasions.
