Chelsea to offer David Luiz new terms
Posted Wednesday, October 03, 2018 by Tribalfootball.com
Chelsea are ready to offer new terms to David Luiz.
Luiz's current deal expires at the end of the campaign, but Chelsea are planning to open talks over a one-year extension, says the London Evening Standard.
The Brazil international has reinvigorated his career at Stamford Bridge under new coach Maurizio Sarri and is a key figure in the dressing room once again.
He made just 16 starts under previous boss Antonio Conte last term and had a fractious relationship with the Italian.
But Luiz, who also missed a number of matches during 2017-18 with a knee injury, has been an integral part of the club's good form in the League under Sarri, starting all seven games so far.
Chelsea have a policy in place that means players who are over 30 only get 12 month contract extensions. Luiz turns 32 in April.
