The Spanish club Barcelona is still
trying to strengthen its defensive lines which were a major cause of the
vibration level of the Catalan giant last season.
It is a new, Barca officials returned
to their attempts to contract with international Brazilian David Luiz Chelsea
player, after the Blues rejected a former offer from the Spanish champions to
join Luiz.
The British newspaper "Daily
Mirror" in the report published on Thursday that Barcelona entered into
new negotiations with Chelsea to sign Luiz compared to 30 million pounds, the
equivalent of $ 45 million.
The newspaper pointed out that
the requested amount in Luiz is not much more than from Barcelona offer, where
he estimated his value of 40 million pounds, 60 million dollars.

President of Barcelona Sandro Rosell is doing secret poll process to explore
the possibility of annexation Luiz to Camp Nou, having failed previous attempts
from Barca to contract with the player."
Barcelona had asked contracted
with Luiz last season, but his attempts failed, and try again recently that it
also came to naught.

denied English reports indicated the desire of the Bavarian giants in contracting
with Luiz, describing such reports as "rumors of English".
The Daily Mirror pointed out that
Barcelona depends on Neymar as a secret weapon in an attempt to convince
teammate Luiz to leave Chelsea and join Barca.

contract with the Blues last summer, and he has assurances by Jose Mourinho,
the new coach of the Blues that he would be a key player in the team next
season.
