Former Arsenal and Chelsea star Willian’s family is reportedly living in fear following threats made on social media.
Willian ended his spell in Europe and is currently back in his native Brazil, where he plays form Corinthians.
One would expect Willian’s move back to Brazil to be blissful since he is closer to his family, but according to reports from ESPN, the family is seriously considering moving out of the country.
The threats intensified following Corinthians’ shock defeat to Bolivian side Always Ready in the CONMEBOL Libertadores.
The Sun further reports that several players were issued threats following the loss, including Willian.
The report further states that the situation is so poor that Willian’s two young daughters are afraid to go to school.

Willian made a name for himself as a Chelsea player, where he spent a successful stint from 2013-2020.
At Chelsea, he won two Premier League titles before securing a transfer to Arsenal, where he failed to impress under Mikel Arteta.
