Chelsea are reportedly furious with Real Madrid and their attempts at trying to lure David Luiz out of Stamford Bridge.
David Luiz is believed to had a major fallout with Antonio Conte after the Blues’ Champions League clash against AS Roma. And reports have it that the Brazilian is on his way out of the club – either on a loan or a permanent deal.
Luiz has been subject to a transfer interest from Spain with both Real Madrid and Barcelona wanting to sign the player during the January window. But as per reports, Chelsea are furious with the way Real Madrid are approaching the whole situation and are in many ways tapping upon Luiz.
But David Luiz too is not sitting idle as a few reports earlier this week had claimed that the Brazilian International had offered himself to Barcelona while he was on a medical tour to Spain last week.
Clubs like Arsenal, Newcastle United and Man United are also said to be interested in the player. While Arsenal and United want to sign Luiz on a permanent deal, Newcastle want him on a loan spell. Jose Mourinho has already worked with Luiz during their Chelsea days and wants the 30-year-old to replace Eric Bailly who will be out for atleast three months due to an injury which will be needing surgery.
With so many clubs going after Luiz, it is still unclear where the Brazilian will head to at the start of the new year or whether he will stay back and give his career at Chelsea one more shot. But Conte certainly isn’t sitting with folded hands as reports suggest that he is looking at AC Milan centre-back Leonardo Bonucci as a possible replacement to David Luiz.
