Barcelona close to David Luiz deal?

Chelsea defender David Luiz could reportedly leave Stamford Bridge in the summer for a move to Barcelona.

Luiz hasn't commanded a regular starting place under Jose Mourinho during the current campaign, but he has still managed to make 34 appearances for the Blues.

However, according to AS, Chelsea are willing to listen to any significant bids for the Brazilian's signature, with Barcelona expected to make their move in the near future.

The Catalan giants are said to be keen to strengthen their defence after keeping just 15 clean sheets in La Liga, while also missing out in the Champions League.
