Barcelona considering making a mega money swoop on Chelsea
Spanish Giants Barcelona could turn their sights to plundering Premier League side Chelsea for a defender this summer with the Daily Mail
reporting that the Catalan giants have tabled a £30 million bid for
David Luiz, however, the report also says that Chelsea are more than
likely to reject the offer for the 26 year old Brazilian.
Barca coach Tito Vilanova is believed to have turned to Luiz after
having failed in his bid to land his compatriot Thiago Silva, with
French Champion Paris St. Germain having rebuffed Barcelona’s advances.
The 26 year old has long been on the radar of the La Liga Champions who are in the market for some defensive reinforcements this summer. The club have decided to let go of Eric Abidal after his return from a liver transplant and with the veteran Carles Puyol approaching the twilight of his career, the Catalans need to find a suitable star to replace the duo at the heart of their defence.
Meanwhile, Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo believes that Vilanova might look to replicate Luiz’s and Silva’s international partnership at the club level too, by signing them both. A tantalizing prospect indeed.
