Chelsea re-sign Luiz

 

Chelsea have announced they have re-signed David Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain.

 

Luiz, 29, only left Chelsea to join PSG two years ago in a record breaking £50m deal but Antonio Conte has been desperate to add depth to his defensive options, which has led the Blues back to their former centre-back.

 

The two clubs have reportedly agreed on a fee in the region of £32m, which means Luiz holds two of the three biggest transfer fees for a defender.

 

“Chelsea Football Club and Paris Saint-Germain have agreed terms for the transfer of David Luiz back to London,” a statement read on Chelsea’s official website.

 

“The move is now subject to him agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.”
