Chelsea rejected a massive offer from Barcelona for Willian over the summer, it has been revealed.
The Daily Star says the Catalan giants had several bids rejected for Willian - who notched the Blues' winner against PAOK in their Europa League opener on Thursday night.
Barca then looked elsewhere and signed another Brazilian, Malcom, from Bordeaux.
However, Willian, who said he would have left the club had Antonio Conte remained in charge, says he's "very happy" at Stamford Bridge.
He said: “I am very happy. I was always happy at Chelsea.
“I don't want to talk about the past. I am happy with the new manager and profile of football.
“I think we have a great team atmosphere and we can do everything to win titles."
