Brazilian Willian wants a three-year deal, while Chelsea’s are only prepared to offer a contract until 2022.
Willian has rejected a two-year deal at Chelsea, with Arsenal in talks to sign the 31-year-old
Arsenal, who overcame Chelsea in Saturday’s FA Cup final, are prepared to give Willian, 32 next week, the three-year contract he wants.
They have discussed a potential deal with the Brazilian’s agent Kia Joorabchian, who negotiated David Luiz and Cedric Soares’s moves to the Emirates and is also close to the Gunners’ technical director Edu.
As well as the contract length he is after Willian is also confident of securing a rise on his current £120,000 per-week wages should he move across London, where he is settled, without Arsenal having to pay a transfer fee.

Joorabchian revealed last week that Willian had five offers on the table including one from the MLS, David Beckham’s Inter Miami, though they fear they are facing a losing battle to beat set to lose out to Arsenal.
Sportsmail understands Inter Miami have also been offered the chance to sign Ryan Fraser after he left Bournemouth on a free transfer though they are initially focussing on adding a world renowned name to their squad.
Willian, who joined Chelsea in 2013, is set to delay confirming a decision on his future until after the second leg of Chelsea’s Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich on Saturday.
Chelsea start 3-0 down following the first leg back in February.
Frank Lampard is keen to keep Willian at Chelsea but an agreement cannot be made at present
They will be without captain Cesar Azpilicueta and wingers Christian Pulisic and Pedro who all suffered cup final injuries plus.
Midfielder Billy Gilmour was already previously while suspended duo Jorginho and Marcos Alonso will also be missing.
Willian is optimistic of to shake off the Achilles problem that ruled him out of the final while Chelsea hope N’Golo Kante and Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be fully fit for the trip to Germany.
