Chelsea forward Willian hopes to play in the Copa America and the Olympics as Brazil face mounting pressure to win both tournaments.
The Brazilian Confederation are in talks with the Londoners hoping to reach an agreement over his release but the Blues are hopeful he will attend just one of the competitions.
Should Willian take in both tournaments, he would miss the first two Premier League matches of new manager Antonio Conte's time in charge at Stamford Bridge.
"Everyone knows my desire to play both championships, but of course we do not want to fight and put Chelsea in a difficult situation," said Willian, who has been capped 30 times for Brazil.
"And I do not want to fight with the Brazil Football Confederation. I hope they and Chelsea enter into an agreement about my release."
