Ex-Arsenal and Chelsea star Willian ‘rips up Olympiacos contract’ and plots money-spinning free transfer
FORMER Arsenal and Chelsea star Willian has reportedly terminated his contract with Olympiacos.
The winger signed for the Greek side on a one-year deal in the summer after leaving Fulham.
But he struggled to make an impact and made played just 11 times for Olympiacos, producing zero goals and one assist.
According to journalist Andre Hernan Willian has now torn up his deal.
He reports the Brazilian plans to remain in Europe, but there is also speculation Willian could move to MLS.
The 36-year-old is understood to be on holiday in Miami, sparking talk he could be ready to join David Beckham‘s Inter Miami.
Willian was previously linked with a move back to Brazil after leaving Fulham – and that is a potential option again.
He played for Corinthians for a year in between leaving Arsenal and signing for Fulham.
But he could be open to a different challenge after revealing he had offers from MLS, Saudi Arabia and Qatar in the summer.
He also spoke of his desire to continue playing until he is 40-years-old.

He said: “I am feeling great physically and in two seasons at Fulham, I didn’t have any problems at all, so I feel completely great.
“I am working in the gym to be in good shape but, of course, it is different from training every day and being ready inside a club. But I am doing all I can to be in good shape for my next club.
“I think my level physically and mentally is great. I think I can play for three or four years more – maybe until I am 40 years old! I feel motivated and at a high level.”
