2. David Luiz to Bayern Munich/Barcelona
One of the more recent developments has been the linking of Chelsea’s Brazilian centre-back David Luiz to two Europe’s biggest clubs- Bayern Munich and Barcleona. Reports suggest that Pep Guardiola had scouted Luiz during his time as boss at Barcelona, and is still interested in working with the Brazilian defender. On the other hand, Barcelona have also been reported to have made enquiries over the availability Luiz, having made an offer for the Brazilian in the summer.
The Brazilian has been in and out of Chelsea’s line-up this season, but he remains an integral part of Chelsea’s defensive line. He is one of the three recognized central defenders at the club and Mourinho will be loath to losing a player as versatile as the Brazilian, having deployed him in defensive midfield in the crucial game against Liverpool.
