Chelsea star Willian is being encouraged to sign for Juventus in the summer.

The 31-year-old winger is out of contract when the 2019/2020 season comes to an end.

He will be free to talk to clubs outside England from January about a free transfer.

And his former Shakhtar Donetsk coach Mircea Lucescu believes Juventus would be the ideal destination if he leaves the Blues.

Juventus have a reputation for signing players on free transfers, while the Italian league is ideal for players who are 30 and older.

Speaking with Tuttosport, Lucescu said: "Willian's contract at Chelsea is expiring, it would be good for him to change it up a bit after all these years in London.

"The Bianconeri would be ideal for him."
