Chelsea: David Luiz closing in on £40m Paris St-Germain move 
Chelsea are in advanced talks with French champions Paris St-Germain over the sale of defender David Luiz for about £40m.The 27-year-old Brazil international joined the Blues from Benfica for £21.3m in January 2011.
He
has made 143 appearances, featuring predominantly at centre-back but also as a defensive midfielder.
Luiz
has three years left on a five-year contract he signed in September 2012. The Brazilian
has been the subject of interest from Barcelona in the last two summers, but French champions
PSG - despite recently failing Uefa's financial fair play (FFP) rules - are set to break the transfer record for a defender to secure his services.Chelsea only narrowly complied with FFP and see this as a sensible piece of business, given the profit it would generate.Luiz is not part of manager Jose Mourinho's first-choice central defensive pairing and his exit would provide funds to strengthen in other areas.
Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa is among those linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
Because of FFP, Chelsea cannot afford to spend heavily on incoming players unless they recoup similar amounts from outgoings - which they could, and did, in the earlier years of owner Roman Abramovich's reign.
The new financial restrictions, coupled with Mourinho's plans from a footballing perspective,
are now at the forefront of the club's thinking and
also explain the £37.1m sale of midfielder Juan Mata to Manchester United in January.All 12 of Luiz's goals for the Blues came in his first two-and-a-half seasons and although he played 34 games during the 2013-14 campaign,
Mourinho prefers John Terry and Gary Cahill at centre-half and Luiz is not seen as a long-term option in midfield.
Chelsea also
have high hopes for 21-year-old Czech Tomas Kalas and 19-year-old Englishman Nathaniel Chalobah as defensive options.

PSG斥6.5億購雷斯 
據英國傳媒報道，法甲冠軍巴黎聖日耳門（PSG）將斥資5,000萬鎊（約6.5億港元）向車路士求購大衛雷斯，
務求能在今夏將該名巴西國腳收歸旗下，報道甚至指PSG有可能在世界盃決賽周開始前落實這宗交易。
如果PSG真以如此巨額轉會費買入雷斯的話，這將比該名巴西國腳在2011年從賓菲加轉會車路士時的2,200萬鎊身價，高出兩倍有多。
有指PSG主帥白蘭斯是在球隊於今屆歐聯八強被車路士反勝後，下定決心要羅致雷斯。
