Chelsea forward Willian reportedly remains a target for Barcelona, who believe that they can land the Brazilian for a cut-price fee this summer.

Barcelona are considering a fresh approach for Chelsea forward Willian, according to a report.

The Spanish champions had a few offers rejected for the Brazil international last summer, the highest believed to be in the region of £55m.

Barca are also said to have contacted Chelsea over a swap deal involving Malcom in the January window, but they were again knocked back.

The Telegraph claims that Ernesto Valverde's men have not been put off, though, and they may make a renewed effort to sign the 30-year-old ahead of next season to strengthen their attacking ranks.

Willian is about to enter the final year of his contract, and Barcelona believe that they can land him for a substantially lower bid than last year.

However, matters are complicated by the fact that Chelsea are appealing against a transfer ban on all players for the next two windows.

Fellow forwards Eden Hazard and Callum Hudson-Odoi are wanted by Real Madrid and Bayern Munich respectively.
