Willian insists he is happy at Chelsea as Man Utd are dealt blow in pursuit of £65m star

Willian has played down talk of a move

away from Chelsea.

The Brazilian has attracted interest from 

Manchester United and Barcelona this 

summer after a frustrating end to last 

season under former boss Antonio Conte.

A reunion with Jose Mourinho at Old 

Trafford has long been mooted but Willian 

has insisted he is happy at Stamford 

Bridge.

Willian is yet to return to pre-season 

training under new boss Maurizio Sarri 

and 

won't feature in this weekend's 

Community 

Shield.

But speaking to Globo Esporte in Brazil, he

 said: "I am very happy at Chelsea and I 

am 

very happy living in London."

Chelsea are keen on Christian Pulisic at 

Borussia Dortmund - but are unlikely to 

make a move unless Willian departs.

Dortmund are said to want over £62m for 

the teenager, who is the club's prized 

asset.

Last week, Sarri insisted he was confident 

Willian would stay put - along with Eden 

Hazard and Thibaut Courtois.

The Belgian pair have both been linked 

with Real Madrid but no deal has 

materialised with under two weeks of the 

transfer window remaining.

"It depends on the club so we have to wait 

but I am confident," Sarri said.

"It is a pleasure to have Courtois, to have 

Willian, to have Hazard."
