Chelsea transfer news: Blues demanding at least £60million for Willian as Paris Saint-Germain plot deadline day move

Chelsea are demanding nothing less than £60million for Willian with Paris Saint-Germain set to make a deadline day bid for the Chelsea man.

Neymar has been ruled out for 10 weeks with a foot injury and Sky Sports report his 30-year-old compatriot is being lined up to cover his absence.

But any bid will have to be worth at least £60million, with talkSPORT learning that Chelsea will accept nothing less for the Brazil international.

Willian has attracted interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid this season and has 18 months left on his Chelsea contract.

He has started 20 Premier League games this season, but was a substitute in the recent 4-0 thrashing by Bournemouth, which knocked the club out of the Premier League top four.

Christian Pulisic is joining Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, while another winger, Callum Hudson-Odioi will remain at Stamford Bridge.

The 18-year-old handed in a transfer request to try and force through a move to Bayern Munich, but has been told to respect the Blues by manager Maurizio Sarri.

Willian is viewed by PSG chiefs as a replacement for Neymar, whose injury will force him to miss both legs of the Champions League round of 16 tie against Manchester United.
