PSG confirm Luiz capture

Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed the signing of Chelsea defender David Luiz on a five-year deal.

The Ligue 1 champions announced a deal had been reached with the Premier League outfit last month and it has been confirmed that the 27-year-old centre-back will be under contract at the Parc des Princes until at least 2019.

Luiz is currently on FIFA World Cup duty with Brazil and will join up with Laurent Blanc’s side after the tournament.

A statement on PSG’s official website read: “Paris Saint-Germain is pleased to announce that Brazil international David Luiz will join from Chelsea for a period of five years.

“He will join the group at the end of the World Cup where he is playing with the Selecao.”
