Liverpool are in talks with Chelsea winger Willian about a move to Anfield in the summer, according to reports in Spain.
The Brazilian international is out of contract at the end of the season and will be available on a free transfer. Some fans on Twitter think signing the 31-year-old would be a good move:
Get him signed Edwards

this would be excellent business if true…People complaining about his age forget how good the Milner deal was for us

I'd take him. On a Free, he's gonna add some good squad depth and experience.

While others doubt whether Willian would fit the criteria that Liverpool are looking for:
What kind of move is that?

Willian has already publicly stated that he wants a three-year contract extension and that is why negotiations with Chelsea over a new deal have stalled.
Whether Liverpool would hand the Brazilian such a lengthy contract considering his age, it does seem doubtful.
In addition, the winger would command a sizeable basic wage and the Reds are unlikely to give someone such a lucrative offer if they are only going to be a squad player. It may be best to take this story with a large pinch of salt.
