Arsenal have confirmed they have reached a mutual agreement with Willian to terminate the forward’s contract.
Willian, 33, a two-time Premier League winner with Chelsea, completed a free transfer to the Emirates in August 2020 and badly struggled to live up to expectations across an underwhelming debut season.
And though Willian still had two years remaining on his £200k-a-week deal, which he signed when he arrived in north London, the veteran attacker and his team held ‘positive and constructive’ meetings where it was decided he could leave.
Willian will return to his native Brazil to join boyhood club Corinthians where he started his professional career back in 2006.
‘Everyone at Arsenal wishes Willian and his family well for the future,’ an official statement on the Gunners’ website said on Monday night.
The contract termination is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
