Willian has ruled out a return to Brazil this summer.

The 31-year-old has said it is unlikely he will sign a contract extension with Chelsea, with the two parties unable to agree upon the length of the new contract.

While Willian has entertained a return to Corinthians, the Brazil international isn't ready to return home just yet.

"At the moment I'm not thinking about going back to Brazil and my aim is to stay in Europe," Willian said.

"I think there's still scope for me to do that in the current market and continue playing at the top level for a few more years. My target is to remain in Europe.

"If I do end up heading back to Brazil, Corinthians would be a great club for me to end my playing career at.

"It's where I broke through and I'm very fond of it. I'm a professional and wouldn't rule any other clubs out, but as I do have a special bond with Corinthians, that would be more likely."
