Chelsea are open to selling Willian to Barcelona to help fund their own summer transfer business.

The Blues are in talks to sign Russia’s £27million World Cup midfielder Aleksandr Golovin, Juventus defender Daniele Rugani and Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

As has been the case in recent years, Chelsea will balance any signings with sales. Alisson will only be signed if Thibaut Courtois joins Real or Atletico Madrid, while David Luiz could be heading out to make way for Rugani.

Chelsea want to sell Danny Drinkwater for over £30m, but they would also be prepared to cash in on Willian if Barca can get near to their £60m valuation.

Manchester United are also interested in Willian, but Chelsea would prefer to sell the Brazilian to Barca unless they could get Anthony Martial from the Old Trafford club.
