Finally, Willian is set to see his Stamford Bridge stay continue with a contract extension.<\/p>\n<h1>Man United, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea Transfer Rumours<\/h1>\n<h2>Wan-Bissaka Won&#8217;t Agitate for Move<\/h2>\n<p>Manchester United want <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/9e525177\/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/a>. The Red Devils have already seen a\u00a0\u00a340-million bid rejected by the Eagles this summer, and the London side are thought to want around\u00a0\u00a360 million for the player.<\/p>\n<p>While in the past, footballers have been known to agitate their current club for a move to a larger team, that will not be the case for the right-back. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/11706\/11741340\/aaron-wan-bissaka-favours-manchester-united-move\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sky Sports report<\/a> Wan-Bissaka indeed wishes for a move to Old Trafford, however, will burn no bridges to get there.<\/p>\n<p>Crystal Palace will be in no rush to move the player along; 21-year-old Wan-Bissaka is under contract at Selhurst Park until 2022. It would appear that United will have to pay a premium to bring Aaron Wan-Bissaka to the club this summer.<\/p>\n<h2>City out of Maguire Race, United to the Front?<\/h2>\n<p>Manchester City are known admirers of England international <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d8931174\/Harry-Maguire?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harry Maguire<\/a>.

The Foxes value Maguire at around\u00a0\u00a380 million, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-7141675\/Manchester-United-think-beat-rivals-City-race-80m-Harry-Maguire-Premier-League-champions-reluctant-meet-Leicesters-huge-valuation.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to the Daily Mail<\/a>. However, the back-to-back Premier League champions would only pay around\u00a0\u00a350 million, opening the door for their cross-town rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United also wish to strengthen their defence and see Maguire as a perfect fit. They are reportedly much more willing to meet Leciester&#8217;s valuation of the player and may swoop in under City&#8217;s noses.<\/p>\n<h2>Ajax Set\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/6622454d\/Hakim-Ziyech?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hakim Ziyech<\/a> Price<\/h2>\n<p>Arsenal and Liverpool target Hakim Ziyech is likely to leave Ajax this summer. Director of football Marc Overmars confirmed as much last month as it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-us\/news\/marc-overmars-hakim-ziyech-will-leave-ajax-in-summer\/qmmym6gqax9w16ph7r71resaf\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">became obvious bigger clubs would want the player<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Dutch side will not allow him to leave cheaply. Ajax have now set a\u00a0\u00a330 million price tag on the 26-year-old attacker, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/ajax-set-hakim-ziyech-price-16520042\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to the Mirror.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ziyech has previously stated that there are two clubs he would like to move to, Arsenal and Barcelona. However, Champions League winners Liverpool are known admirers and may be tempted into a bid.<\/p>\n<h2>Willian to Sign New Chelsea Contract Ahead of Ban<\/h2>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/feeds\/chelseafootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chelsea<\/a> having already seen <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a39bb753\/Eden-Hazard?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eden Hazard<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/06\/06\/eden-hazard-completes-move-to-real-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">leave for<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/real-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Madrid<\/a>, Maurizio Sarri agree to become the next Juventus manager and <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/05\/09\/maurizio-sarri-to-struggle-with-transfer-ban\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a transfer ban looming<\/a>, the Blues must act quickly and decisively in order to stay competitive in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>While they generally do not offer new contracts to players over 30, they seem ready to make at least one exception. Veteran Willian&#8217;s current deal is set to expire next summer. This has lead to reported interest from Barcelona, who wished to buy the player in January.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/sport\/football\/9298210\/chelsea-willian-blues-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Sun<\/a> report the new contract will be good for an additional two years.
