Sports Willian wants to finish career at very high level' - Agent drops transfer hint

Willian's future at Chelsea is still very much up in the air, according to his agent Kia Joorabchian, who says the midfielder is determined to "finish his career at a very high level".

Chelsea signed Willian from Anzhi Makhachkala for £30 million ($37m) back in 2013, and he has since racked up 329 appearances for the club, scoring 58 goals.

Goal has reported that Willian is open to signing a temporary deal that would see him remain at the Bridge until the end of the current season, which is set to resume following the coronavirus-enforced break on June 17.

However, Joorabchian says his client's "ambition" is likely to see him leave Chelsea later in the year unless the club are willing to propose fresh contract terms.

"Before the pandemic occurred, the negotiations were around two and three years," Willian's agent told Sky Sports.

"Chelsea have a policy which we respect and understand but Willian has a career and he has ambition.

"He wants to finish his playing career at a very high level."
