Relationship between Chelsea manager Antonio Conte and defender David Luiz is said to be beyond repair and the Brazilian international will once again leave Blues this January, according to reports from Daily Mirror.
The Premier League champions are said to have reached the decision to sell the centre-back during winter with several clubs already lining up possible bids for the 30-year-old.
Manchester United have been linked with a move for the Brazilian for some time with Jose Mourinho reportedly keen to reunite with Luiz at Old Trafford, but Serie A champions Juventus are also said to be exploring an option to join the race.
David Luiz has lost his place in Chelsea’s first team after confronting Antonio Conte in October’s 3-0 Champions League defeat at AS Roma.
Andreas Christensen has since then replaced Luiz in the starting line-up whereas Antonio Conte keeps insisting that Luiz is recovering from a knee injury.
In the meantime, reports have it that David Luiz could be available this January for a price around £26 million.
