Willian 'relaxed' despite no progress on contract talks with Chelsea

Chelsea star Willian has admitted that there has been no progress on contract talks with the club, but the winger says he is "relaxed" about the situation.

Barcelona are said to be interested in the Brazil international, and he will be free to talk to overseas clubs from January 1 when there will be just six months left on his current contract.

The Spanish giants were linked with a £40million move in the summer, while Manchester United were also interested when Jose Mourinho was in charge.

Several other clubs are reportedly thought to be considering a move for the 31-year-old, particularly if he becomes available on a free transfer next summer.

The winger scored the winner against Lille in the Champions League on his 300th appearance for the Blues, and told the Standard that there has been no progress in talks, and he is waiting for something new from the club.

"No, no, nothing. [But] yes, I am still relaxed.

"I am calm, I am relaxed. I wait for the club."

Willian has made eight appearances so far this season under Frank Lampard, starting both of their Champions League fixtures and the last three Premier League games in a row against Wolves, Liverpool and Brighton.
