Willian makes the final decision on Chelsea's future in the middle of the transfer links

Willian is on the verge of signing a new two-year deal with Chelsea, putting an end to speculation linking him to a move away from Stamford Bridge.

The Brazilian was tipped to follow Eden Hazard by the exit door, while Barcelona wanted to land the 30-year-old, but he has now accepted the conditions to extend his stay in West London.

With a transfer ban suspended over their heads, Chelsea leaders were forced to relinquish their policy of giving out only one-year contracts to players over the age of 30 and granted two-year extension to David Luiz.

And Willian is now ready to receive the same thing, according to The Sun.

The Blues were about to risk losing it at the end of next season. Barcelona is ready to test his determination with a bid of £ 30 million to get him to win this summer.

But Chelsea should remain hooked on the striker, which will undoubtedly be a welcome relief for the club's bosses.

Chelsea can not spend his money because of his transfer ban and it's hard to know who will be at the helm to handle them next season.

Maurizio Sarri is about to leave to join Juventus, alongside club legend Frank Lampard – who currently runs Derby County – the favorite to replace him.
