Chelsea agree deal with PSG for David Luiz

Chelsea have agreed a deal with Paris St-Germain, worth in the region of £40m, for the sale of defender David Luiz to the French champions.

Luiz, 27, joined the Blues from Benfica for £21.3m in January 2011.

“The move is now subject to David Luiz agreeing personal terms with PSG and passing a medical,” a statement on Chelsea’s official website read. 

I bet Chelsea couldn’t believe their luck when PSG agreed to pay £40 million for David Luiz, I’ll say it again £40 million for David Luiz, this transfer shows money really does go to people heads as that’s the only explanation I can think of as to why PSG would do this.

Luiz was a bit part player for Chelsea last season and apart from scoring a couple of spectacular goals from long range he hasn’t done a lot or brought much to Chelsea since he arrived and yet he’s now worth £40 million and is the World’s most expensive defender, WTF!

How can he be worth more than Juan Mata who was Chelsea’s player of the season two years running, how can he be worth more than what Chelsea are going to pay for Diego Costa?

Given that PSG have recently been fined by UEFA and had their squad reduced for next seasons Champions League, their reaction to that is to spend £40 million on a player who’s worth about half that, nice to see the FFP rules are keeping big spending clubs in check. . . . .
