Chelsea defender David Luiz could reportedly leave the club for Napoli this summer.

Chelsea defender David Luiz has been linked with a move to Serie A title contenders Napoli this summer.

The 31-year-old is two years into his second spell with the Blues but has made just 10 Premier League appearances this season following a fall-out with manager Antonio Conte.

The Italian looks almost certain to depart Stamford Bridge at the end of the current campaign, but Luiz has still been tipped to move on as he looks to regain regular first-team football.

According to The Sun, Napoli - currently second in the Serie A table and four points behind leaders Juventus - is the Brazilian's most likely destination as they look to mount another title challenge next season.

The newspaper claims that Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez could quit the Magpies to return to Napoli for a reunion with Luiz, whom he managed during a six-month caretaker spell in charge of Chelsea in 2013.

Ironically, current Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri has been linked with replacing Conte at Stamford Bridge.
