The gunners have been frantic to offload him in the late spring transfer window as they hope to modify their squad under Mikel Arteta. Willian actually has two years more on his present deal, which would see him clock age 35. Willian also happens to be the second-most paid player at the club after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Arsenal have been haggling with Corinthians for half a month, yet the reality that Willian has two years left on his £240,000 per week contract has caused a few hardships.
As per Sky Sports, Willian has chosen to defer the remainder of his agreement so he can move back to Brazil on a free transfer.
Thusly he will save Arsenal around £20m in compensation, a signal which has ‘stunned’ the club’s chiefs. Willian has additionally prepared to acknowledge a 70 percent pay cut to get back to his previous club.

That is as per Ferdinand who appeared to guarantee that Edinson Cavani – the current holder of the number seven shirt has offered it to Cristiano Ronaldo.
While Premier League rules express a player isn’t permitted to switch shirt numbers during a season, a proviso could see Cristiano Ronaldo wear the number seven shirt as Cavani is yet to feature for Man United.
This is what Rio Ferdinand had to say on his YouTube channel;
”Just to think Cavani could be the back-up for Ronaldo, it’s unbelievable. Cavani, I have to say, what a man. He saw who was coming to town and gave up the No. 7 shirt.
Maybe? I don’t know. Does he do that or not? At the end of the day, you know what the problem might be is that the shirts have been registered, maybe. And that might be an issue. So he might not be able to be No.7 so we’ll see.”
