Antonio Conte risks losing key player by leaving him out of first team

David Luiz has been at the center of a lot of transfer talk as his feud with Antonio Conte continues, although both parties are tight lipped on the matter.

The center back has been pegged back in the Chelsea first team by the emergence of Andreas Christensen and Luiz’s ongoing feud with Conte. He has been restricted to bench roles in recent games, especially after Chelsea’s devastating loss at AS Roma in the Champions league.

Luiz is said to be out injured but theorists believe it’s Conte who is leaving him out of the first team.

And now the Express now report that Chelsea should be bracing themselves for mega bids from clubs around Europe with Real Madrid, Manchester United and now Bayern Munich all set to formally express interest in the Brazilian.

He will likely be whisked in the summer as Conte now prefers Christensen in the middle of the three-man defense he has setup lately.
