David Luiz to force through move from Chelsea after Antonio Conte spat

DAVID LUIZ is ready to quit Chelsea at the end of the season and force through a move to Barcelona, according to reports in Spain.

Luiz was the high profile absentee from Antonio Conte’s line-up for Chelsea’s crucial Premier League match against Manchester United at the weekend.

The Blues boss got his tactics right as they walked away with all three points.

But reports have emerged since revealing the true reason as to why Conte dropped Luiz from his squad.

The Italian coach admitted after the game that Luiz could face even more time on the sidelines if he doesn’t improve.

That has sparked uncertainty surrounding his future with rumours suggesting there has been a breakdown in relations between the player and coach.

And Diario Gol now claim the Brazilian has had enough at Stamford Bridge and wants to join up with Barcelona next summer.

It is claimed the 30-year-old has made a come-and-get-me plea to the La Liga giants

The Catalan club are said to be in the market for a central defender with Javier Mascherano rumoured to be on his way out of the club and Thomas Vermaelen facing an uncertain future.

Luiz also reportedly spoke his fellow countryman Neymar prior to his move to Paris Saint-Germain and supposedly recommended his friend to move to the French capital.
