He has become a key player since his arrival from Benfica in
January 2011 but he is tempted to join arguably Europe's strongest team.
In addition to lining up alongside Gerard Pique or Puyol,
Luiz would be playing alongside Brazil team-mates Dani Alves and Neymar.
Barca last season were forced to play midfielders Javier
Mascherano or Alex Song at the back in Puyol's absence and it is this, combined
with Luiz's ability to bring the ball out of defence, that makes him their top
target.
Barcelona has launched a £30million bid for David Luiz – but
Chelsea will refuse to sell him at that price.
Barca, who for all of their quality, remain short of options
at the back, are prepared to increase their offer for the talented defender who
they view as their long-term successor to captain Carles Puyol.
Will Luiz make a run on Chelsea?
