Chelsea’s David Luiz Linked To Bayern

David Luiz may finally give in to transfer offers especially considering his situation at Chelsea. The Brazilian, who will surely want to take part in the World Cup this summer, is no longer Mourinho’s first choice as far as The Blues’ defensive line goes. Even so he has been targeted by clubs like Barcelona or PSG even since the beginning of the season. The latest club Luiz is being linked to, is Bayern Munich. The German side who changed their playing style since Guardiola took over are looking for a defender with a similar profile to that of the Brazilian.

Chelsea’s 26 year old player moved to London in 2011 and helped his team win the Champions League trophy and last years’ Europa League. It appears that he is currently in a rut as his chances to make it to the World Cup go down with each match he misses out on. If things go well for Terry and Cahill who both scored during the Blues’ weekend game, Luiz will have a rough time getting his spot back. With that in mind, a winter offer from Bayern may be quite appealing to the Brazilian defender. Strange things have happened since Mourinho took over. He sent out promising players on loan and left aside players like Mata and the Brazilian international. According to Metro, Luiz turned down Barcelona this summer just to stay with Chelsea. He might reconsider his choices during the January transfer window if things remain the same.

Chelsea’s defender was once seen as the future captain of this club. His performances were always spot on and his attitude was impeccable both on and off the pitch. Even so it looks like Mourinho is not on the same page with the 26 year old who was featured in only 11 matches this season. According to rumors, he might even be considered The Blues’ third choice for a spot in the middle of the defensive line with Ivanovic next in line to substitute Terry or Cahill. It is hard to tell what will happen especially with Terry not being given an extension to his contract.
