Shakhtar Donetsk have gone on to reveal that they won’t be selling Willian for any fee lower than thirty five million Euros.
The midfielder has been attracting a lot of interest from Europe, and with the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 all looking to land the player. The Ukrainian club have gone on to confirm that they won’t let the player leave, unless someone meets his
buyout clause.
With that clause set at a massive thirty five million Euros, it is going to be interesting to see just what team will go on and spend that much on the player.
The Ukrainian team’s manager, when talking about his player, and the importance that he serves to the team is reported to have said: “If [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 president Massimo] Moratti asks me about Willian, I will tell him that Shakhtar want to achieve things in Europe
and will not sell their players. There's the buy-out clause, though, which is €35m for Willian"
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Willian-c36898 and Oscar is that Willian is much more mature, and has already plenty of Champions League experience and has played in a strong European league for years.”
"The Blues wanted to sign Willian this summer for €20m [£16m], but we turned them down. They went for Hazard for over €30m [£24m] instead. Fact remains that we do not want to sell him."
The midfielder is currently twenty four years old, and has a contract with the team that is set to expire in the summers of 2014.
Given that fact, many feel that it is fair for the team to be asking for such an over the top price for their prized asset.
Based on how Willian has performed in the Champions League. He has looked to be the real deal, and his performance against Chelsea was rather impressive to say the least.
Not only did he score two goals, but he looked to be the most impressive player on the pitch for a majority of the game.
Nonetheless, it is now a wait to see whether Chelsea will meet Shakhtar’s asking price for the player or not.
