Chelsea forward Willian insists that he never wanted to leave Chelsea this summer despite rumours of the Brazilian moving from Stamford Bridge...
Fellow Premier League rival Manchester United were interested in the Brazil international and Barcelona had three bids turned down for the winger.
Willian said recently that there was "no chance" he would have stayed at Chelsea if former manager Antonio Conte was still in charge.
However, under Maurizio Sarri, Willian says that he "never even considered" leaving the cub this summer.
"A lot of people, they say a lot of things in the press, but I never said that I want to leave Chelsea, never," Willian told Chelsea's official website.
"Always I say that I want to stay at Chelsea as long as possible, and I am happy to stay here.
"My mind was always like that, always when I arrive here my plan was to stay here as long as possible and now I am here five years, I hope to stay five more.
"I know I have two years of my contract left but I hope to stay more years in the Premier League.
"I am very happy to be here five years. I have won titles and played a lot of games with a lot of happy moments, and a few sad moments as well but that is part of football.
"These five years have been very good for me and I am proud to be a Chelsea player."
