Press: "Real" initiates negotiations with D. Luiz

Zinedine Zidane refused to confirm for the past few days that Real Madrid will not seek reinforcements in the winter transfer window.

The French newspaper RMC claims that Real Madrid has contacted 30-year-old center-back David Luiz, who has recently not been in the best form at Chelsea in London.

It is said that Z. Zidane is not completely satisfied with his defensive line, as they lost Pepe last summer. He was replaced by the young Jesus Vallejo, but the Spanish coach does not show too much confidence in him.

Currently, the main defensive pair is Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane, but both have had health problems this season. The third choice is Nacho, but even he is not shining in defense this season.

RMC claims that Real Madrid has already contacted D. Luiz, who wants to leave London in January due to poor relations with Antonio Conte. This transfer is estimated to cost up to 30 million euros.

The biggest problem is that this transfer would mean D. Luiz could not be registered for the UEFA Champions League tournament, so the "Whites" must seriously consider the possibility of a transfer.

This season, the Brazilian has played 13 games and scored two goals.
