Chelsea winger Willian has denied having any relationship with the agent whose letter of authorization leaked on social media, and seemed to be seeking a move for the player away from Chelsea this summer.
The Brazil international has been the subject of transfer talk this summer and was reportedly interested in moving away from Stamford Bridge this summer with Manchester United the closes club to him. Barcelona also entered the race for him and according to Sky Sports, made three bids for him that were all rejected by Chelsea.
Willian only arrived back at Chelsea’s training on Thursday and had immediately taken to Instagram to distance himself from the circulating ‘fake’ letter with FIFA logos, and threatened to drag the perpetrators to court.
“In the recent days I have been informed that a “letter of authorization for player agent FIFA”, allegedly signed in my name has been circulated through the football market.
In such letter, Mr. Denirobson Dias would grant an authorization to Mr. Renee Pinheiro Anunciação to represent me until 15 August 2018, throughout football clubs in the United Kingdom and France. I would like to clarify that I never signed such letter, the content of which I completely deny.”

That would be a welcome boost for the club who were hoping the Brazil star will not push through a move out of the Chelsea this summer.
