Deal Almost Agreed! Chelsea set to offload 30-year-old to Serie A side this summer

According to the Sun, the Brazilian international defender could be prepared to be lined up for a transfer to the Stadio San Paolo if manager Rafael Benitez is named manager of the Italian club.

Limited playing time at Chelsea

The Brazilian has found his regular football chances at Chelsea to be restricted this term and he has not played for the club since early this year due to form and fitness problems.

As per the same article, Rafa Benitez is among early favourites to take charge at the Serie A side in the summer window and that means he will try to make an offer to bring the South American to Italy.

The same story says that Luiz could be leaving Stamford Bridge this summer transfer window, despite Chelsea manager Antonio Conte also looking prepared to leave the side.

Crucial match ahead

Meanwhile, the Blues are currently getting set for their crucial English Premier League encounter against Merseyside giants Liverpool at Chelsea on Sunday.

Chelsea will need to win the match to keep alive their hopes of ending in the top four and sealing a place in the UEFA Champions League for next campaign.
