Barcelona renew Willian interest

La Liga champions, Barcelona have renewed their efforts to sign Chelsea forward Willian, and the proposed deal will involve Malcom moving to Stamford Bridge, according to reports. 

Barca tried to sign Willian last summer but all the three bids made for the Brazil international was rejected with the final offer worth more than £55m. 

Barcelona signed Malcom instead for £38m from Bordeaux, but the 21-year-old has not really made an impression at the club as his opportunities for first-team selection became limited at the Nou Camp, with several more established names ahead of him in the pecking order. 

Willian is aged 30 and his contract will expire In the summer of 2020, having signed for the club for £30m from Anzhi Makhachkala in 2013.
