Former Chelsea Boss Carlo Ancelotti Eyes Reunion With David Luiz at Napoli

Napoli have joined the race for out of favour Chelsea defender David Luiz this summer, according to reports.

The Brazilian has been cast to the side at Stamford Bridge under Antonio Conte, making just 15 appearances last term, leading Napoli's new boss Carlo Ancelotti to seek a reunion with the 31-year-old.

Luiz is considering his options ahead of his likely departure from Chelsea this summer, where he has been heavily linked with a return to Benfica.

However, according to La Repubblica (via Premium Sport), Napoli have been urged by their new boss, Ancelotti, to pursue to the centre back as the former Blues boss is said to be a big fan of Luiz following their time together in the Premier League.
