Pep Guardiola rejects claims of making a move for Chelsea's David Luiz
Bayern Munich's new manager Pep Guardiola has rejected claims of making a bid Chelsea defender David Luiz.
Reports suggested that the Champions League winners Bayern Munich were in the market in the search for a new centre-back following their 4-2 German Super Cup final defeat to arch rivals Borussia Dortmund.
Guardiola speaking at a presentation before the Audi Cup in Munich, said that he was satisfied with his defensive outlook. Bayern have the option to drop Spanish International Javi Martinez back now, following the signing of Thiago Alcantara to fill a similar holding midfield role to the one he had last term.
"He's not coming to Munich," he said. "We've got four or five central defenders.
"There is no truth to the speculation."
