Chelsea will hold more talks with Willian over his Stamford Bridge future after the Brazilian claimed he has not been offered a new contract, despite the club’s insistence that he has.

Willian is involved in a bizarre stand-off with Chelsea as he prepares to enter the final six months of his current contract.

Following the Champions League draw against Valencia, Willian said that he has not been offered a new deal and that he is waiting to hear from the club.

But Telegraph Sport understands that Chelsea are adamant that Willian has been offered a new contract, as recently as two weeks ago, and they believe the ball has been left in the Brazilian’s court over his future.

Chelsea will now try to clarify the situation with Willian and his agent, but are unlikely to be forced into making a new offer to the latest one they feel is on the table.

Head coach Frank Lampard has made it clear that he would like Willian to stay, but there may be an issue over the terms Chelsea are currently prepared to offer.

It is understood 31-year-old Willian ideally wants a two-year deal to stay after seeing David Luiz earn a similar contract at the end of last season.
