Chelsea star makes regular contact with Champions league giants over January transfer

Chelsea defender David Luiz is said to be in constant contact with Spanish La Liga side Real Madrid over a possible switch to the Santiago Bernabeu as they look to reinforce in defence.

Out-of-favour Brazilian
The Brazilian has not been a regular starter for the reigning Premier League Champions this campaign after falling out of favour with Antonio Conte and could now leave the club.

Perez has other plans
Don Balon suggest Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is interested is signing AC Milan defender Leonardo Bonucci to reinforce his backline but could consider the out-of-favour Chelsea defender as an alternative option.

This development could make sense as a short-haul signing for the La Liga champion, with the Brazil international defender showing himself for many seasons now to be one of Europe’s finest centre-backs on his day.

Luiz still a quality defender
Luiz, 30, was one of the club’s most vital players in their title success last term, and could enjoy from a transfer away again to ensure he’s playing regularly and able to fulfil his football potential.

More importantly, Spanish Publication Don Balon suggest the defender is very interested in making the move and is in frequent contact with the Real President to inform him.
