Brazil defender signs five-year deal with French champions
David Luiz will join after World Cup is completed

Paris Saint-Germain have announced the signing of the Brazil defender David Luiz from Chelsea.

The 27-year-old will join the French champions following the World Cup, where he played in Thursday night’s opener against Croatia in Sao Paulo.

A statement on the French club’s website read: “Paris Saint-Germain are pleased to announce that for a period of five years Brazilian international David Luiz has moved from Chelsea FC. He will join the group after the World Cup.”

PSG saw off interest from Barcelona to sign the former Benfica defender and it is believed that they have paid around ￡40m to complete the transfer. That figure could rise to more than ￡50m ? eclipsing the ￡33m PSG paid for his Brazil central defensive partner Thiago Silva in 2011 ? and making David Luiz the most expensive defender in history.
