Chelsea are pushing to close a deal today for Benfica defender David Luiz. The Guardian says Chelsea are still engaged in the pursuit of the Benfica defender Luiz and will attempt to complete a £25.5m deal for the Brazilian today.
The deal for Luiz faltered on Friday, when Benfica announced that they had been unable to reach agreement over how the £25.5m fee would be paid.
There were no further negotiations over the weekend but Chelsea intend to make a revised offer in order to bolster their defensive options.
