David Luiz is reportedly more open to the idea of staying at Chelsea past the summer if manager Antonio Conte departs the club.

Luiz, 30, returned to Chelsea from Paris Saint-Germain in 2016 in a £34 million deal and played a big role as Conte's Blues won the Premier League title last term, as recognised by the PFA:
