3 signings that could happen as a result of Malcom's transfer to Barcelona

#1 Willian to Manchester United

Newcastle United v Chelsea - Premier League — Willian in action for Chelsea

Jose Mourinho is a long-term admirer of the 29-year-old Brazilian international, having brought him to Chelsea in a hijacked move from Tottenham while Willian was about to undergo medicals for Spurs.

Reports emanated from the beginning of the World Cup in Russia that Barcelona was interested in Willian and had entered negotiations with Chelsea over his transfer to La Liga.

However, the Blaugrana were unable to match Chelsea's valuation of the winger, and their signing of Malcom instead shows that they have cooled their interest in the former Shakhtar Donetsk and Anzhi Makhachkala man.

With Manchester United also deciding that Inter Milan's price for Perisic is too high and reports that Anthony Martial is on his way out of Old Trafford, Willian could well be on his way to reuniting with his former Chelsea boss.
