Transfer: Willian’s absence at Chelsea training sparks fresh exit rumours

Brazil star, Willian failed to return to Chelsea's training amid
reports of a £65million bid from Real Madrid.

Willian was nowhere to be seen at Cobham training ground on Tuesday
ahead of Chelsea's International Cup tie with Arsenal on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old was supposed to report to the Blues' training last
Friday but is still nowhere to be seen.

The Times report that Willian is claiming a passport issue as the
reason behind his absence.

The report also claimed that Chelsea's sources are worried that
Willian's situation is very similar to what Diego Costa told them last
summer before demanding a move away.

Willian who is a close friend of Costa and represented by the same
agency was linked with Barcelona and Manchester United before the
Madrid bid.

However, while the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek arrived back at
training before their scheduled return date, Willian is nearly a week
late.

Speaking to Brazilian TV show, Esporte Espetacular, when asked this
week if he was leaving Chelsea, Willian said: "No, I'm back to
England.

"I'm very happy at Chelsea, I'm very happy living in London."
