Barcelona are reportedly preparing to offer £20m for Chelsea attacker Willian.

The Spanish champions are believed to be in the market for a new forward this month due to the fact that Luis Suarez is facing an extended period on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Barca are thought to have failed with an £85m move for Everton's Richarlison, and according to Sky Sports News, the Catalan giants are now preparing a last-minute £20m offer for Willian.

The Brazil international has made 30 appearances for Frank Lampard's side during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring five goals and contributing five assists.

Willian's contract at Stamford Bridge will expire at the end of the season, though, and there have been no suggestions of any potential progress in recent talks.

The 31-year-old was also linked with a move to Camp Nou during last summer's transfer window but was prevented from leaving due to Chelsea's transfer ban, which has since been lifted.
