Lisbon has confirmed that negotiations with London regarding the transfer of defender David Luiz to an English club are continuing. According to the media, the parties are close to reaching an agreement.
It is said that "Benfica" will receive around 30 million euros for the Brazilian, and the only question left to solve is the payment schedule of this amount.
In the past, well-known Portuguese national team defender Abel Xavier told "Daily Mail" that he is sure that Luiz will shine in the English championship: "I have no doubt that Luiz's career at Chelsea will be successful.
First of all, he is a good defender, but not afraid to control the ball and is useful in attack. In addition, David is still young, so he will improve and gain more experience. Chelsea needed exactly such a player."
