Willian’s time as an Arsenal player could be short-lived. The 32-year-old arrived at the Emirates Stadium on a free transfer last summer after his contract at London rivals Chelsea expired and enjoyed an impressive debut, recording multiple assists in a 3-0 win over Fulham on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season. Well, a return to Brazil has been ruled out as Willian has already revealed he wants to remain in Europe and hasn’t closed the door on playing in the United States before retiring.
Willian said: “Look, I always say that sometimes we make plans but sometimes the plans change. Today, in my head, I don’t have this objective. I have neither the desire nor the objective to play in Brazil. I intend to stay in Europe, anyway. Leaving Europe, going to another market. United States, I don’t know, another market. But we make plans, sometimes things can change. So today I reply to you that I don’t have this thought of playing in Brazil again.”
