Willian has found himself the subject of interest from several clubs this summer.

Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all been linked with a move for the Chelsea winger but there remains plenty of confusion over his representation this summer.

Willian has taken to Instagram to clarify that an official document which appears to authorise a change of agents for negotiations in the current transfer window is not legitimate.

The Brazil international intends to take legal action after claiming that his signature was forged on a form which seems to show that Denirobson Dias had given Renee Pinheiro Anunciacao permission to represent Willian in summer negotiations between clubs in both the UK and France.

“I have been informed that a ‘letter of authorisation for player agent Fifa’, allegedly signed in my name, has been circulated,” Willian said, via the Telegraph.

“In such letter, Mr Denirobson Dias would grant an authorisation to Mr Renee Pinheiro Anunciacao to represent me until August 15 2018, throughout football clubs in the United Kingdom and France.

“I never signed such letter, the content of which I completely deny. Since there is clear evidence that my signature has been forged, I have instructed my lawyers.”

Willian has reportedly been valued at £70 million by Chelsea amid suggestions that his days at Stamford Bridge are numbered.
