Rumors are always in the air whenever transfer window opens every year, and even this time, we heard many speculations about a possible makeshift from some of the biggies in the business but later they come out to be a pure rumor created by the media. This time, the player in question is Chelsea’s in-form defender David Luiz and club who is reportedly preparing a deal is Bayern Munich, but its coach has clearly ruled out any truth in these reports as neither he or his bosses are interested in hiring any new defender out in the middle since they have enough material in the defense area. Actually, Bavarians lost to Borussia Dortmund by 4-2 this weekend at Super Cup which fueled the rumors that there is a space in the defense and Guardiola is looking for a possible new entrant from Chelsea den. Rejecting the reports, Guardiola said at Audi Cup’s preseason tournament presentation in Munich that “He’s not coming to Munich. We’ve got four or five central defenders. There is no truth to the speculation.”
Clearly, he was trying to convince his bosses that they have enough power to defend any attack. Right now, Guardiola has defenders like Javi Martinez and Thiago Alcantara at their back area, therefore, coach doesn’t think there is any need for a new signee, however, Chelsea has neither denied nor accepted the rumors which keep material on for the sport’s media personnel. Apart from Bayern , there is one more club who is apparently interested in the same defender and that is none other than Spanish giant Barcelona and if rumors are to be believed, Brace can anytime come up with an even more lucrative deal for the back which would be difficult for Chelsea to refuse. Notably, Luiz has been the key contributor in the last EPL season; perhaps he made his club qualifies for the Championship league by finishing among the top four.
Even the Brazil international has admitted on several occasions that he loves Barca style of playing but he refuses to comment about any possible makeshift to Camp Nou coz there is no offer in hand from the La Liga champions. Many say; he is the discovery of former Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez who precisely used his skills during last league season and later in Europa League. The defender said in an interview that “My objective is to be happy and this is possible playing always in a team that controls the ball. Barcelona is the team that has developed the best football in the last few years. I know Barca were interested in my services in the past but now I do not have any news.”
