Former Chelsea star, Willian Borges has terminated his contract with Corinthians after confirming he received death threats from the fans.

Confirming Willian's decision to leave the club, Corinthians President said:

"Willian asked us for his [contract] termination," Corinthians president Duilio Monteiro Alves said.

"We are sad not to have him any more and also because it didn't go the way we expected. But we have to keep those here that are happy."

Willian joined Corinthians last summer on a free transfer after terminating his deal with Arsenal and only spent one season with the club he started his career with. Corinthians have lost five of their past nine games, and Willian played in the second leg on Wednesday as the Brazilian side were knocked out of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals by domestic rivals Flamengo. Willian confirmed death threats on even his family after losses in each game:

"Whenever Corinthians lost and I didn't play well, my family received threats and insults on social media - my wife, my children, and recently they also started attacking my father, my sister," Willian told the Globo Esporte website.

Following his departure from Corinthians, Willian has been linked with a return to the Premier League.

One club reportedly interested in Willian is Premier League side Fulham, reports GOAL. The Brazilian is on track to sign for the Cottagers and is said to want to return to England.

As per Fabrizio Romano, Willian is currently considering a move back to Europe:

Willian has made 259 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 38 goals and providing 38 assists. The winger also has two league titles, both won at Chelsea.

Willian won the League twice at Chelsea.

It was just last year, the last time the Brazilian was in the league with Arsenal, where he scored just one goal and assisted a further five for the Gunners in England’s top division.

Overall, Willian had a great career in England and many will be excited to see him return if the move to Fulham comes to fruition.

Graham Potter's choice to hand one of his starlets a debut demonstrates the trust that he has in the young players at Stamford Bridge that can help him through a tricky run.
