David Luiz could quit Chelsea for Barcelona in 2018

Chelsea’s star defender appears set to leave Stamford Bridge in 2018.

The 30-year-old has been sidelined of late with a knee injury.

But prior to that he had a falling out with manager Antonio Conte, and their relationship has not been repaired.

Conte has played down a rift but did call for more from Luiz earlier this season.

The Brazilian is looking for a route out of Stamford Bridge, and he has his preference nailed down.

According to Spanish outlet Don Balon, Luiz is more than happy with the idea of signing for Barcelona.

He would have no hesitation in snubbing Real for their Catalonian rivals.
