Some eyebrows were raised when Barcelona’s interest in Chelsea forward, Willian was revealed last summer.
Barcelona were in search of a fresh attacking option and made up to three bids for the Brazilian.
At the time of Barcelona’s interest, the Brazilian had fallen out with then Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte, and as open to leaving Stamford Bridge.
But with Conte’s exit, Chelsea’s new manager, Maurizio Sarri, has found Willian to be very useful for him.
According to Sky Sports, Barcelona have returned for Willian and are surprisingly valuing him at more than 85 million euros.
The Catalans reportedly offered 55 million euros and also included Barca outcast, Malcom, in the deal.
Barcelona signed Malcom from Bordeaux for around 42 million euros and Ernesto Valverde was allegedly not consulted in the transfer deal.

CHELSEA REJECTS OFFER
The Blues have turned down Barcelona’s latest offer as Sarri is looking at building up and adding more strength to the team rather than seeing one of his key players leave.
Willian has 18 months left on his current deal with Chelsea and turns 31-years-old later this year.
Chelsea are not interested in negotiating and out-rightly turned down the offer from Barcelona.
