Spanish giants, Real Madrid have rejected an opportunity to sign Chelsea star, Willian this summer.
Willian has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.
According to Spanish outlet, Mundo Deportivo, Chelsea informed the Los Blancos that Willian will be available for £72million, But Real Madrid’s new manager, Julen Lopetegui wasn’t keen on outlaying the amount that the West London club wanted for the Brazilian international.
The report also claimed that Willian’s agent was additionally demanding a £9million payment, all of which proved too expensive for the 30-year-old.
However, Chelsea rejected three bids for Willian from Spanish outfit, Barcelona earlier this summer.
The Spain transfer window doesn’t close until August 31 meaning La Liga clubs can still sign players from the Premier League.
Chelsea signed Willian for £30million from Anzhi Makhachkala in 2013, and he has gone on to make 239 appearances while scoring 44 goals.
