Chelsea defender David Luiz is in high demand as both Bayern Munchen and Barcelona are preparing to make a summer bid for him. Luiz, who won the Confederations cup with Brazil recently, is an integral part of the national squad and his club side Chelsea.
According to Daily mail, Bayern manager Pep Guardiola is ready to lock horns with his former club Barcelona to sign David Luiz from Chelsea. The report says Guardiola believe, he can improve the defense with Luiz in the squad. The Brazilian defender, who joined Chelsea back in January, 2011 has a contract valid at Stamford Bridge until 2017. Meanwhile, Barcelona and league 1 big spenders PSG are also keen on signing Luiz.
The 26 year old former Benfica player is a fan’s favorite at Chelsea and many pundits consider him as the future captain of the club. So far he made 109 appearances for Chelsea scoring 12 goals from all competitions. Luiz’s adaptability to play both as a defender and a holding defensive midfielder made him regular first team player. Luiz joined Chelsea three seasons ago from SL Benfica for £ 26 million and Blues included midfielder Nemanja Matic as a part of this sensational deal.
Bayern has a strong defensive unit with youngsters such as Holger Badstuber, Jerome Boateng, Diego Contento, Dante alongside veterans Van Buyten and Lahm.
There were many rumours regarding Jose Mourinho planning to offload Luiz and Mata, but the manager said he has no intentions to sell out any of his players. Luiz is a key player for Chelsea and it is hard to see him leaving the club. The player is really happy with his current situation at the club and has no doubt over his future with the Blues.
