Chelsea Transfer News: Huge Willian Offer Prepared in China, Fresh Blues Rumours

Chelsea star Willian is reportedly a £50 million target for Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande. 

According to Darren Lewis in the Mirror, Guangzhou "are one of several clubs in China ready to double" the £120,000-a-week deal on offer for him at Chelsea.

The 27-year-old Brazilian's current deal at Stamford Bridge runs until 2018, and the Blues will be desperate to keep him as he has been one of very few bright lights in a poor 2015-16 campaign.

Per Bleacher Report's Dean Jones, incoming Blues manager Antonio Conte is likely to make a number of key signings over the summer:

He is also sure to move on a number of star players, with Oscar set to be sold in an attempt to raise funds, per Matt Hughes in the Times.

However, given Willian's contribution during 2015-16, it is unlikely Chelsea will be willing to sell him for any amount of money.

As the west London outfit have made a pathetic attempt to defend their 2014-15 Premier League title—they currently sit ninth in the table with four games remaining—Willian has been one of the few Chelsea players not to underwhelm.

He has netted five goals and provided five assists in the Premier League and has unquestionably been the Blues' player of the season, per WhoScored.com.

Conte will undoubtedly see the Brazil international as a key part of his plans as he looks to return Chelsea to the top of the English top flight.

The Blues signed Willian in 2013 for £30 million from Russian outfit Anzhi Makhachkala.

Although they could seemingly make a significant profit by selling him on to Guangzhou, they are unlikely to be open to letting him go, while the forward himself will surely be eager to continue in the Premier League while he is in the prime of his career.

Elsewhere, Chelsea have reportedly "made enquiries" to sign Borussia Dortmund playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who has just a year left on his current deal at Signal Iduna Park, per John Cross in the Mirror.

The 27-year-old Armenian has had a quite remarkable season for the Bundesliga outfit and could be a brilliant addition to a Chelsea squad currently lacking in creativity, per German football writer Stefan Bienkowski:

Per Cross, Mkhitaryan "fancies a move to London," and Arsenal are also pursuing the versatile midfielder.

Chelsea will not be able to offer him Champions League football next season, but he may be attracted by Conte's plans at Stamford Bridge.
