Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has confirmed that David Luiz is talking to Chelsea about a new contract.

Brazil defender Luiz’s contract expires at the end of the season, but Sarri says the club have held new discussions with the 32-year-old about an extension.

Asked if Luiz would be back at Stamford Bridge next season, Sarri said: “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. I didn’t ask him the result of it.”

A laughing Sarri added: “If you want, I will ask him tomorrow.”
