Chelsea sent the soccer world into meltdown on Tuesday night time after it emerged a bid within the region of £30m had been made to re-sign former player David Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain, two years after he used to be offered to the French champions for £50m.
Nevertheless, regardless of rumours suggesting that Luiz can be open to a return to Stamford Bridge after dropping down the pecking order in Paris, matters aren't really so clear cut.
In step with L'Equipe, PSG rejected that opening offer and have made it clear to Chelsea they don't seem to be watching to promote the Brazilian defender.
Luiz, who has been a Ligue 1 champion and domestic treble winner in each and every of his seasons in France so far, is behind fellow countrymen Thiago Silva and Marquinhos in new supervisor Unai Emery's plans.
However the club continues to be eager to hold him to provide extra cover over the course of a long season.
With only hours remaining before the switch closing date, Chelsea have little time to waste in negotiating with a membership that isn't watching to do industry and so it stays to peer if the Blues will return with an increased offer.
Former Bolton Wanderers full-again Marcos Alonso is anticipated to whole his transfer to west London, signing from Fiorentina for a rate in far more than £20m, but primary defence still stays a priority for Chelsea and manager Antonio Conte.
The club has remained linked with imposing Napoli centre-again Kalidou Koulibaly for lots of the final few weeks, but rumours of substance have substantially dried in more latest days after the player's valuation kept going up and up.
