It appears the situation is now dire for Willian, who doesn’t know if an agreement can be made. 

‘Chelsea offered me two years, and they are not going to change what they offered,’ Willian told Esporte Interativo after Chelsea’s defeat by Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

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

‘My goal is to continue working and focus on this remainder of the season, so that Chelsea can continue winning the games for the remainder of the season.
