WILLIAN TRANSFER TAKES NEW TURN WITH THESE RECENT CLAIMS

Chelsea transfer window has been up and down and not progressing for a while now especially with several reports coming out about their best leaving. E.g. Hazard, Willian, Courtois and Kante. Chelsea board has been doing their best to keep them at the club since Maurizio Sarri has displaced Antonio Conte, who lost the dressing room.

One of the players that seemed most likely to leave was Willian. Reports suggested that Barcelona and Manchester United were bidding for him which Chelsea held a high valuation of £70 million for him. However, Barcelona signed Malcom and Manchester United aren't close to signing him.

After it all appeared to be over, Willian wasn't back at Cobham for pre-season and was reported to have passport issue which Sarri thought it was strange and was going to have a word with the player. 

But then...

Willian has appeared to instruct his lawyers to act on a "forged" letter which has circulated on the "football market."

He said on his Instagram profile:
          In the recent days I have been informed that a “letter of authorization for player agent FIFA”, allegedly signed in my name has been circulated through the football market.
In such letter, Mr. Denirobson Dias would grant an authorization to Mr. Renee Pinheiro Anunciação to represent me until 15 August 2018, throughout football clubs in the United Kingdom and France.
I would like to clarify that I never signed such letter, the content of which I completely deny.
Finally, since there seem to be clear evidence that my signature has been forged, or anyway misused, I hereby inform that my lawyers are already instructed to proceed with all appropriate legal measures before any competent courts or authorities.
I hope I have clarified the matter and any possible misunderstanding.
Willian Borges da Silva

It would be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks. It's our guess that the letter might come from the Chelsea board.
