Chelsea to sell Willian in order to fund Lucas Moura transfer

Chelsea are moving ahead with plans to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura and are preparing to sell Willian in order to fund the transfer, according to reports in France.

The big-spending Ligue 1 club are reportedly ready to sell Lucas, who has fallen down the pecking order following the arrivals of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

The Premier League champions are said to be one of the clubs offered the 25-year-old, and Antonio Conte has apparently shown interest.

According to 10 Sport, Chelsea are making preparations to free funds to sign Lucas, who has 35 senior Brazil caps, and would sell Willian in order to do so.

They feel they could get a higher fee for Willian than they would spend on Lucas, who it is reported could be signed for around €30million (£27m).

The French sports paper reports that Chelsea are scoping out potential buyers in the Chinese Super League. Clubs in China signed John Mikel Obi and Oscar from Stamford Bridge last January.

Willian has struggled to get game time this season, with Eden Hazard and Pedro partnering Alvaro Morata in the Blues’ front three.

He has started just six Premier League games, with five additional appearances coming as a substitute.
