# Barcelona lodge second bid for Willian

Barcelona have reportedly lodged a second bid for Chelsea winger Willian, according to Sky Sports News.

[Sky Sources](https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1017414341249777673) claim that the Blues have received an offer in the region of £53 million for the Brazilian.

The Catalan giants are keen to sign the player this summer and reportedly had an opening bid rejected this summer.

Reports have suggested Chelsea would be willing to sell if they received a bid closer to £60 million.

It has been suggested that Maurizio Sarri would like to [keep](https://readchelsea.com/2018/07/11/sarri-wants-chelsea-to-keep-willian-and-hazard/) the player at the club next season.

The Brazilian had seen his future thrown into doubt after falling out of favour with Antonio Conte, who has recently been sacked by the club, according to [reports](https://t.co/qlsraECSNQ).

Willian will turn 30 in August and this may be Chelsea’s best chance to cash in on the Brazilian international, who is said to be open to the idea of joining Barcelona this summer.
