Report: Chelsea to offload David Luiz in January transfer window

Chelsea have decided to sell David Luiz in January following a bust-up with manager Antonio Conte, according to reports.

The 30-year-old has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge in recent weeks, last starting in the Premier League against Bournemouth in October.

Luiz and Conte were reportedly involved in a heated exchange following the 3-0 defeat at the hands of Roma in the Champions League.

According to The Sun, Chelsea have decided to part ways with the Brazil international, who in turn is eager to restart his career elsewhere.

The report goes on to suggest that Manchester United are looking at Luiz as a replacement for the injured Eric Bailly, while Juventus are preparing a £23m swoop as a replacement for Leonardo Bonucci.

Luiz has made 194 appearances for Chelsea over two spells at the club either side of a two-year stint at Paris Saint-Germain.
