Willian future uncertain as Chelsea stubborn on contract policy

Willian's future at Chelsea is looking uncertain as the club will reportedly stick with their current contract policy.

The Blues will only offer a one-year contract to players aged over 30.

The policy saw Cesc Fabregas fail to negotiate an extension and he was subsequently sold to Monaco last month, who offered him a contract until 2020.

Contract negotiations have begun with Willian, however, the London Evening Standard reports Chelsea are only willing to offer a one-year deal.

The Brazilian has 18 months left on his current contract and wants an extension until 2023.

Unless Chelsea change their tune, the 30-year-old could leave Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Willian has been pursued by a number of clubs over the past two seasons, namely Manchester United and Barcelona.
