Barcelona are ready to pour all their energies into prising David Luiz away from Chelsea.

The Mirror says Barcelona have made the Brazilian their number one priority.

The Spanish champions' long-term interest in Thiago Silva was ended after Paris Saint-Germain tied the centre-back down to a new deal, and with Roma defender Marquinhos also rejecting Barcelona's overtures to sign on at the Parc des Princes, the capture of 26-year-old Luiz has become more important than ever.
