The 31-year old David Luiz joined the Blues in 2016 for his second spell with the club after moving PSG in 2014, 3 years after he made his Chelsea debut in 2011. The Brazilian international has so far over 225 appearances and more than 15 goals for the Blues.

When Brazilian and Chelsea star Willian was asked about the proposed move, the winger said,
No doubt, he's focused here.
He's never said something about Real Madrid or stuff like this. He just wants to continue to play for Chelsea.
The Belgian whose contract expires in 2020 has many times expressed his desire to play for the Los Blancos and his admiration of Zinedine Zidane.
Forgotten Chelsea midfielder in AS Roma scouting list
