Willian to launch legal action over forged agent document
The 29-year old played in the World Cup for the Selecao where they got knocked out by Belgium in the quarterfinals.
Chelsea midfielder Willian is going to launch legal action against a fake agent who offered him to other clubs and also forged his signature on a document.
The Brazilian star has been linked to a lot of clubs this summer with Manchester United and Barcelona being held as possible suitors. Now, it seems that all those rumours could be coming from an unreliable source.
He is finally on his way for training, five days after his scheduled return to Chelsea. The 29-year old has allegedly said that a passport issue was the reason behind his absence. He had appeared destined for an exit out of Stamford Bridge for £70m, but now it seems some of those exit rumours could have been fake.
The former Shakhtar Donetsk player claims that the alleged document has been forged, which claimed the signing over of his representation rights. The World Cup player posted the document on Instagram with the caption, "In the recent days I have been informed that a 'letter of authoriszation for player agent FIFA,' allegedly signed in my name has been circulated through the football market."

[KH_RELATED_NEWS title="Related News"][/KH_RELATED_NEWS]Chelsea have already rejected three bids from Barcelona. The farthest the Catalan club went was £55m before growing tired of negotiations. They signed Malcom instead for £37m. A bid from Manchester United was also rejected as Chelsea didn't want to sell him to a rival club. It is also being rumoured that Real Madrid are considering a £65m bid for the Brazil international.
The former Corinthians youngster has made 166 appearances for Chelsea and scored 25 goals. His performances in the Premier League slowly cemented his spot in the Brazil starting XI, which he has since made his own.
