David Luiz: 'I rejected Barcelona offer'

By , Reporter
Chelsea's David Luiz reveals that he rejected an offer from Barcelona during the transfer window.

Chelsea defender David Luiz has claimed that he rejected advances from Barcelona during the summer transfer window.

The Brazilian defender was rumoured to be a target for the Spanish club for most of the summer and he has now revealed that an official offer was made.

"There was an official offer [from Barcelona], but I decided to stay at Chelsea," Luiz told Gazeta Esportiva.

"I am happy to play for a big club and be in the national team to represent my country."

Luiz moved to Stamford Bridge from Benfica in January 2011.
