David Luiz has officially closed a three-year chapter at Chelsea to embark on a new journey with Paris Saint-Germain, in a high-profile transfer valued at around €50 million. The 27-year-old Brazilian defender addressed the move during a press conference, reflecting on his decision to leave London for the French capital.
“It’s a new stage, a new project, a new country, a new language,” Luiz said. “I was very happy at Chelsea, I won titles there, but the end of the cycle has arrived. I will start a new cycle in Paris.” Although the deal awaits the official opening of the transfer window, Luiz confirmed that everything is agreed with PSG and expressed his enthusiasm about the upcoming challenge.
Anticipating potential questions over the hefty transfer fee, Luiz remained humble. “The price? I’m not the one who decides. I try to do my best on the pitch, to be good. Numbers aren’t my thing. I want to represent Paris as best I can, achieve the club’s goals, win titles, and above all, show the real David Luiz, as a player and a human being.”
This move marks a significant step in Luiz’s career as he aims to make his mark in Ligue 1 and help PSG in their pursuit of domestic and European success.
