Willian fails to show for Chelsea training amid transfer talk

Real Madrid and Manchester United target Willian has reportedly failed to show up for training after returning from his post-World Cup holiday.

The Times reports that the Willian has been struggling with passport issues, but his absence has raised some eyebrows back at Stamford Bridge.

Those behind the scenes at the club are said to be concerned that Willian’s situation could mirror that of Diego Costa last summer.

The report does specify that the player has contacted the club to make them aware of his situation.

The striker failed to return to training as he pushed for a move back to Atletico Madrid after falling out of favour under Antonio Conte.

Real Madrid have been heavily linked with a move for the winger throughout the summer.

Chelsea officials now fear that the winger could be looking to push for a move away from the club.

Manchester United are also known admirers of the player and should Jose Mourinho look to raid his former side, Chelsea could move for Borussia Dortmund’s Christian Pulisic.
