The transfer window is over and one can safely
say that David Luiz is going to be a Chelsea player
at least for the next six months. Over the
summer, Luiz was linked heavily with moves to
Bayern Munich and Barcelona. He may not be the
perfect defender in the world, but he has a
multitude of qualities that makes him special.
Once described as a ‘PlayStation footballer’ by
Gary Neville, Luiz has grown into one of the
important players of the Chelsea squad.
In an interview given to Gazeta Esportiva, Luiz
said:
“There was an official offer [from Barcelona],
but I decided to stay at Chelsea. I am happy to
play for a big club and be in the national team
to represent my country.”
Barcelona came in with an
official £35 million offer , which
would have made Luiz one of
the most expensive defenders in
the world. Chelsea rejected it
and categorically stated that he
was not for sale at any price.
John Terry, in my opinion, has only a couple of
years left in him. It would not be surprising to see
Terry retire at the age of 35 just as Liverpool’s
Jamie Carragher did recently. Luiz is clearly the
man to take over.
For his part, Luiz never came out and said that he
wanted to leave Chelsea. He did, however, chose
to remain silent on the issue.
Dani Alves would be greatly disappointed man
after having publicly expressed his desire to see
Luiz at Barcelona.
