Arsenal fans will be hoping for a little bit of good news with respected transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano posting on Tuesday that Arsenal and Brazilian side Corinthian’s are in-talks regarding the transfer of Willian.
Corinthians proposal for Willian is on the table since yesterday. Contract offered until 2023 or 2024 – talks ongoing on salary situation as Arsenal are prepared to let Willian leave on a free move 🔴🇧🇷 #AFC

The 33-year-old has been a resounding disappointment since arriving from Chelsea and to make matters worse the veteran midfielder is collecting a hefty £220k-per-week.
According to the Tweet by Romano there is still an intent for a switch to a top European club, but the prospect of a long-term deal at Corinithians – until 2023 or 2024 could prove too good to turn down.
Don't Miss:
- Dusan Vlahovic urged to complete ‘perfect’ transfer – not Arsenal
- ‘Break club record spend or look elsewhere’ Arsenal told
- Arsenal eye player Lionel Messi claimed to be ‘similar to Xavi’
Interestingly, Arsenal are prepared to see off Willian for nothing, leaving him leave on a free to facilitate an exit by the transfer window closing.
