Brazilian winger Willian is spilt for choice when it comes to his next employers.
The 31-year old is out of contract and available to leave Chelsea on a free transfer this summer and has had firm contract offers from the Stamford Bridge club and Barcelona.
He has previously indicated that he would prefer to stay with Chelsea, but they have only offered him a two-year deal, whilst Barcelona are ready to offer him the three years that he wants.
Meanwhile, David Beckham’s Inter Miami have made him a very lucrative offer, with a three-and-a-half-year contract on the table, but he may not want to move to the MLS at this stage of his career.
And then there is also Arsenal, who are reported to be heavily interested in him as well – Willian’s agent Kia Joorabchian is very well connected with the hierarchy at the Emirates.
Willian will make his decision after the FA Cup Final with Arsenal on Saturday.

He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
