Chelsea have rejected a bid in excess of £50m for Willian from Barcelona, according to Sky Sports sources.

While talks are underway between the Premier League club and the La Liga giants, the former are open to selling the Brazilian midfielder.

Willian, 29, is away on international duty with Brazil, currently participating in the World Cup in Russia, while Barcelona are negotiating a deal with the Blues.

It was earlier reported that Willian was willing to leave if Antonio Conte remained in charge next season.

He made 55 appearances for Chelsea last season and scored 13 goals in all competitions.
