Atletico Madrid in talks with Chelsea midfielder Willian

Atletico Madrid are ready to move for Chelsea midfielder Willian.

Off contract in June, Willian conceded this week that talks over a new deal have it an impasse over the length of contract he is seeking.

TMW says the deadlock has encouraged Atletico, which are keen to tempt the midfielder to Spain this summer.

Willian is aware of Atletico's interest, with contact being made at the end of January with his representatives.

"Chelsea offered me two years, and they are not going to change what they offered," Willian said earlier this week.

"I said I wanted three more years. The situation is difficult because of this, I really don't know if it will be possible."
