Ancelotti: negotiations about David Luiz, but nothing agreed yet © EuroFootball.com

London strategist Carlo Ancelotti admitted that the club is seeking to acquire Lisbon defender David Luiz.

It is reported that more than 21 million euros were offered for the 23-year-old Brazilian, but the Portuguese team is demanding a much larger sum.

"David is the only footballer we are trying to acquire, but if we fail, nothing will change," said Carlo Ancelotti. "He is a very good young player, but nothing has been agreed yet."

"Benfica" is asking for around 30 million euros for Luiz.
