Chelsea's bid of €26m for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542 snubbed yet by Benfica
There is shocking news piling in from London on Chelsea and their search for a fresh defender at Stamford Bridge. Latest reports have just confirmed that Portuguese club Benfica has refused the recent bid by Chelsea on their coveted defender David Luiz.
This is the 3rd time Chelsea has to face disappointment when it comes to signing the fulcrum in defence of Benfica. They have upped and improved each offer but Benfica have been unmoving on their demands.
It is expected that the 23-year-old defender will be a replacement for the aging http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Terry-c18895 and Alex in defence. The Brazilian prodigy has many a times alone stabilized the defence of Benfica hence his ratings have rocketed upwards making him a highly sought
after player in the market.
The Brazilian international will probably be receiving a long-term contract by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 but that is if the Portuguese outfit agrees to the transfer fees.
Sources have revealed that they are demanding around €30 million for the youthful centre back, a price that Chelsea have time and again ranged to be too high.
Just now reports are flying in that Benfica have actually snubbed yet another offer from Chelsea, this time however it was amounting to be around €26 million. It seems that with an addition of €3 million Benfica are still not happy.
Nonetheless pundits are expecting the deal to sealed in around €28 million. They have even prompted to place money for the signing to take place in the next couple of days.
The general overview is in fact presenting a scenario in which a deal can probably be sealed now that both sides have almost similar interests.
With a conference at the table and few hearty jokes and a slight adjustment in price tag this deal is as good as in the bag. The rich owner of Chelsea Roman Abramovich won’t certainly mind a tweak in his accounts on the basis of his beloved club performing
better.
Nonetheless there is a disadvantage of signing in Luiz. The player is Cup bound having already featured in Champions League so he will be seeing just the Premier League action. However in the long run he certainly will prove to be a great signing for the
Blues.
