Chelsea defender David Luiz admits he has grilled his Brazilian team-mates about the on-going ‘project’ at Paris Saint-Germain, fuelling rumours he could be ready to quit Stamford Bridge this summer.
Luiz, who joined the Blues from Benfica in January 2011, has been linked with a move to Barcelona but it appears big-spending Ligue 1 side PSG could be the ones capturing the centre-back’s interest.
The 26-year-old, currently on international duty at the Confederations Cup, has revealed interest in joining the Brazilian revolution taking place under former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti at the Parc des Princes.
‘I’m talking a lot about PSG and its project with Brazilian players’, Luiz revealed.
‘The club made a good job in Ligue 1, and there have a very good players like Lucas Moura, Thiago Motta, Maxwell, Thiago Silva.
‘And I don’t speak about it with others, just Brazilians.’
Luiz is a big favourite among Chelsea fans and has often been cited as the long-term successor to captain John Terry, when the 32-year-old finally hangs up his armband and boots.
But question marks remain over the Brazilian’s consistency and doubts linger as to whether he is Jose Mourinho’s type of player, with the Portuguese traditionally preferring defensively reliable centre-backs over those with an attacking mindset.
