Luiz will not leave Chelsea

Chelsea defender David Luiz has insisted that he will not depart the Europa League champions this summer.

It had been suggested that the Brazilian had been used in a transfer bid for Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney, although such speculation was denied by the club.

"I do not like the rumours about me and the possible departure. I have a contract with Chelsea until June 2017 and do not want to talk to other clubs," he told O Globo.

A number of European clubs, including Bayern Munich and Barcelona, have been linked with his services.
