Chelsea Transfer News: Huge Barcelona-Chelsea swap deal, Blues striker a target for Everton, Higuain transfer hurdle, and more - 11th January 2019

#2 Massive Willian Barcelona swap

Willian

It is no secret that Barcelona were interested in Chelsea and Brazil winger Willian previously, and it seems like the Catalans will offer money as well as a player in exchange to land their man.

The Telegraph have reported that Barcelona offered £50 million plus summer signing from Bordeaux, Malcom, to bring Willian to the Nou Camp, but Chelsea have reportedly rejected the deal. This is quite a shocking move from Barcelona considering Willian is almost a decade older than Malcom, and hasn't been in great form to warrant such a big fee as well as a player in exchange.

21-year-old Malcom, who moved to Barcelona in the summer transfer window for €41 million, has struggled for the Spanish side, making just 5 appearances in the league this season.

Chelsea aren't keen on another winger as they have already signed Christian Pulisic who will arrive at Stamford Bridge in the summer.
