David Luiz: Chelsea in fresh contract talks with Brazil defender, Maurizio Sarri confirms
Chelsea are still in contract talks with David Luiz as he nears the end of his existing deal, manager Maurizio Sarri has confirmed.Luiz, the Brazil defender, is tied down to the Blues until the end of the season, and Sarri has previously expressed his desire to extend the 32-year-old’s contract.2

Centre-half Luiz has been a key figure for Sarri’s Chelsea

And talks with Luiz have been renewed, the Italian confirmed after Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in Thursday’s Europa League semi-final first leg.“I don’t know on David Luiz, I know that he had a meeting four or five days ago, but then my mind was on this match,” said Sarri.“I didn’t ask him the result of it.”Luka Jovic headed Eintracht into an early lead, though Chelsea grew into proceedings with Pedro levelling on the stroke of half-time.The Blues were left to rue a clutch of missed chances though, with Sarri admitting he felt his men should have won.“I think that we made a mistake in the first 20 minutes because my feeling was, from the bench, that we were playing only to manage the result for the 0-0,” said Sarri. “But we are not able to do that. Then we started to play after 25 minutes and played very well until the 85th minute and deserved to win for the number of opportunities.“We were in control of the match for 70 minutes and should have won.“But they are dangerous on the counter-attack if you give them spaces.“We deserved to win, 1-1 is not so bad away.

“They are very dangerous at home, but they are really very dangerous away.“I’ve seen Eintracht’s games in the Europa League, and they are dangerous.“We want to go to the final, but we know very well we’ll have to play a very good match next week.”2

Pedro superbly scored to secure Chelsea a valuable away goal against Eintracht

Eintracht boss Adi Hutter insisted his side can complete the job at Stamford Bridge in next week’s second leg.“Everything is still possible,” said Hutter.“We have to score a goal, that’s a fact, and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge will be the great favourites – that’s for sure.“But after the goalless draw here against Inter, no one thought we could go to Milan and win.“That’s how we have to act in London: be confident, brave and courageous. But I’m happy with the performance. Anything is possible.”
