Chelsea's defender David Luiz has confirmed that he will leave Stamford Bridge and move to Paris St Germain. Luiz is currently in advanced talks with the French club and looks set to sign a six year contract.



With the World Cup coming, Luiz is eager to seal a move prior to the tournament and all that is left are some minor formalities.

"I tried to fix everything before coming to the Selecao,” Luiz told reporters.

"This is a new stage, a new project, a new country, a new language ... I was very happy at Chelsea, I gained titles, but the end of the cycle has arrived. I'll start a new round in Paris.

"It will be announced when the window will open. But I can say that everything is signed with Paris and I am very happy.

"I am privileged, I played in big clubs, big cities in the world. I can not complain. I want to represent the best Paris. Achieving the club, winning titles, and especially show the true David Luiz as a player and a human being."
