It is very likely that Willian will close the door at Arsenal behind him this summer. The attacker, who has never fully emerged this season in North London, would according to Sky Sports preying on a return to Chelsea. According to the English news channel, Arsenal would not be sympathetic to a departure from Willian, but it is not known whether the club is also willing to let the Brazilian winger go to a direct competitor in the Premier League.
Chelsea did everything they could to keep Willian on board last summer, but couldn’t fulfill all wishes and then saw him move to Arsenal for three years. There, Willian was unable to leave an indelible impression with only 1 goal in 37 games. Willian still has a contract with Arsenal that runs until the summer of 2023, but would seriously consider a departure from the Emirates Stadium, partly due to the disappointing performance. The club would like to cooperate with that wish, it sounds.
However, a return to Chelsea is not the only option. David Beckham’s Inter Miami has also hinted that it is interested in Brazil’s seventy-time international. Sky Sports reports that Willian’s preference is for a return to Chelsea. Arsenal’s willingness to cooperate on a transfer has to do with that the Gunners want to free up money to provide the selection with a new quality impulse.
Manager Mikel Arteta already indicated earlier this month that Arsenal’s selection is due for a renovation. “The selection needs to be changed,” he said. “We haven’t competed with the top clubs in the Premier League for five years. It’s not like this process started six months ago. It started five years ago and you can see this trend. This year is not the first year. We must be ruthless. There is no time to waste and a lot to do. The owners will always support us in that. “
