Chelsea appear to have won the battle to keep David Luiz after the defender reportedly told the club that he has no intention of trying to force through a move to Barcelona.
The Liga champions have courted the Brazilian defender throughout the summer and recently had a £35m bid rejected for the 26-year-old.
The big-money bid was turned down by the Blues and Luiz is not expected to try to engineer a move to Spain himself, according to The Mirror.
Barca have also expressed their interest in signing Liverpool's Daniel Agger and Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Thiago Silva this summer.
