Arsenal fans react to Romano tweet on Willian
A number of Arsenal fans have taken to social media to react to a tweet from Fabrizio Romano in which he claims Corinthians have made an offer for Willian.
Willian has endured a nightmare spell at the Emirates. He arrived on a huge contract, with Spotrac suggesting that he earns £192,000-a-week.
Unfortunately, he really failed to live up to expectations. He only scored one Premier League goal for the Gunners. And he came in for a lot of criticism throughout the campaign.
It did appear that Arsenal would struggle to move the 33-year-old on. Clubs are not splashing the cash this summer. And Willian is on eye-watering wages.
But it does appear that Arsenal have received a huge boost.
According to Romano, Corinthians have made an offer for Willian. And he is considering it. He does note that the attacking midfielder would prefer to stay in Europe. But he is tempted by a move to Brazil…
Corinthians have made an official bid to Willian, confirmed. He wants to leave Arsenal since May and he’s now considering Corinthians proposal. 🇧🇷 #AFC #Corinthians
Willian has never been in talks with Al Ahli – priority still to European clubs, but Corinthians are now pushing.

Corinthians proposal for Willian is on the table and 100% confirmed. He’s ready to leave the club and he’s tempted – Willian gives priority to European clubs but Corinthians have “huge chances”. 🔴🇧🇷 #AFC
Arsenal will let him leave on a free transfer in order to save his salary. https://t.co/AXIHRDyzhk

Unsurprisingly, the news has gone down incredibly well amongst Arsenal supporters on social media.
‘Amazing news’: Arsenal fans implore Willian to make Corinthians move
They must have feared that Willian would be on the books right until his deal expired.
Of course, that is still possible. He still needs to accept the move.
And his desire to stay in Europe may perhaps throw a spanner in the works. He previously turned down the chance to join Inter Miami due to his wage demands, reports claimed.
Several Arsenal fans are desperately hoping that Corinthians succeed where the MLS outfit failed.
With that in mind, here is how some of the supporters reacted to Romano’s tweets…
I am a Corinthians fan and this is amazing news. Willian is world class. We should offer more money and make sure any deal is PERMANENT. What a talent.

As a Corinthians fan, I’m praying every night that we get this over the line! Willian is world class and a Brazilian legend who seems to still be in excellent shape and form. We need to do everything it takes to get this done, including offering more money if necessary 🇧🇷
