Chelsea have been told they will have to fork out in
excess of £28m if they hope to
secure the signature of Shakhtar Donestki’s Brazilian play maker, Willian.
The attacker enhanced his reputation with his fine
display in the Champions league match against Chelsea where he scored a brace.
Willian was heavily linked with a
move to Spurs over the summer but the deal fell through.
He has also been linked with a move
to Italian giants Inter Milan in recent months.
However Shakhtar coach Lucescu, has maintained they are keen
to keep the Brazilian but will only let him leave when their price tag is met.
"If [Inter president Massimo]
Moratti asks me about Willian, I will tell him that Shakhtar want to achieve
things in Europe and will not sell their players. There's the buy-out clause,
though, which is£28m for Willian," Lucescu told Tuttosport.
"Chelsea paid €31m [£25m] for Oscar this summer. The difference between Willian and Oscar is that Willian is much more mature, and has already plenty of Champions League experience and has played in a strong European league for years.
"The Blues wanted to sign Willian this summer for €20m [£16m], but we turned them down. They went for Hazard for over €30m [£24m] instead. Fact remains that we do not want to sell him."
The 24 year old has a contract with Shakhtar until June 2014.
