Real Madrid are eyeing up a January move for Chelsea defender David Luiz after the Brazilian’s fall out with Antonio Conte, as per a report from Matt Law and Jason Burt of The Telegraph.
The defender originally fell out with Conte when he reacted poorly to being substituted against Roma at Stamford Bridge and things got worse when the Blues lost in Rome and there was a big falling out.
Since then, he’s trained alone, been left out of the squad for the home game against Manchester United and has been on the bench for the trips to West Brom and Liverpool.
Real Madrid are having a poor season by their high standards and Zinedine Zidane is looking to make some January reinforcements and Luiz is apparently one of the names on his shortlist.
Chelsea are unlikely to let the Brazilian leave unless they can find a replacement but if they can find an alternative to Luiz, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that he could leave to join the reigning European champions.
