Benfica reject Chelsea's Luiz bid

Chelsea's desire to get promising defender, David Luiz seems never ending with the Blues going for a 26 millions Euro bid for the Brazilian.

Benfica were reportedly unhappy with the offer and are said to be sticking on to their base evaluation of 30 million for the player.

Interest for the 23 year old is sky high with AC Milan, Real Madrid among the other big clubs who are vying for the youngster's signature. The offer is reportedly the third time Chelsea have tried to convince Benfica to sell Luiz, but Benfica have not given in.

If reports are to be believed then Benfica would be willing to part ways with the defender for a cost of 28 million. Luiz however is cup tied and will not be able to participate in the Champions League if he moves clubs.

It will be interesting to see Chelsea's next move who seem determined to get the services of the defender after they endured a horrible slump that started late last year.
