Barca ‘line up massive summer move for Chelsea defender’
Barcelona are lining up a summer move for Chelsea defender David Luiz despite the departure of Pep Guardiola, according to the Daily Mirror.
Guardiola was previously linked with a swoop for the Brazilian and it is claimed that his successor as Barca boss, Tito Vilanova, is also keen.
It is said that the Catalan giants are planning a massive bid for Luiz although it would take an offer of around £30m to prise him away from Stamford Bridge.
The Mirror also say that new England manager Roy Hodgson wants Fulham coach Ray Lewington to be his assistant, while a number of papers suggest Rio Ferdinand is likely to tell Hodgson that he is willing to play alongside Chelsea’s John Terry at Euro 2012.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail report that Ezequiel Lavezzi, who is apparently wanted by Chelsea, is ready to leave Napoli after a dispute with president Aurelio de Laurentiis – but the Italians want £28m for him.
And The Sun say Junior Hoilett has indicated that he would not be willing to stay at Blackburn if they are relegated.
QPR have made enquiries about the highly-rated winger, who has been discussing a new contract at Ewood Park.

Tottaly agree with your comments Umah.
This is just stupid paper talk, i dont doubt Barca are looking for a new central defender to replace the veteran Puyol, and David maybe a option but they know Chelsea wont sell unless they give us Messi. which will never happen in a million years. So the same goes for Luiz as well.
Keep the faith!!
Good luck to Chelsea on Sat i am predicting a 2 – 1 victory to Chelsea with Torres scoring the winner against his former employers and us wining the F.A. cup.
Big up the mighty blues!!!
