Chelsea have agreed a deal with Paris St-Germain, worth in the region of £40m, for the sale of defender David Luiz to the French champions.Luiz, 27, joined the Blues from Benfica for £21.3m in January 2011.
The move is now subject to David Luiz agreeing personal terms with PSG and passing a medical," a statement on Chelsea's official website.The Brazilian has three years left on the five-year contract he signed at Stamford Bridge in September 2012.Luiz has been the subject of interest from Barcelona in the last two summers, but French champions PSG - despite recently failing Uefa's financial fair play (FFP) rules - will break the transfer record for a defender to secure his services. Luiz is not part of manager Jose Mourinho's first-choice central defensive pairing and his exit would provide funds to strengthen in other areas, especially as Chelsea themselves only narrowly complied with FFP rules.Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa is among those linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
