Defender rejoins Chelsea from PSG
Chelsea confirmed earlier on Wednesday that they had agreed a deal with
PSG, reportedly worth £34million, to bring Luiz back to Stamford Bridge.
And the Brazil defender has now completed personal
terms with Chelsea and passed a medical, putting pen to paper on an
three-year contract.
The Brazil defender left
Stamford Bridge to join the French champions in June 2014 in a transfer
believed to have been worth £50m.
Luiz claimed two domestic trebles at PSG and will look to add to the Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup trophies he won during his first spell with Chelsea from 2011-2014.
After his return was confirmed, Luiz told the club's official website: "I'm
delighted to return to Chelsea. We had a fantastic story during my
first time at the club and I want to help the team and Antonio Conte
achieve a lot of success.
"I always had a wonderful
relationship with the fans and I am looking forward to wearing the blue
shirt at Stamford Bridge once again."
Luiz is
new Chelsea boss Conte's fifth signing since arriving in the dugout at
Stamford Bridge during the close-season, and the Blues' second
arrival of deadline day after left-back Marcos Alonso from Serie A side Fiorentina.
