Top 5 Premier League players expected to leave in this winter transfer window for a spot in their World Cup squad

3. David Luiz

Transfer linked with : F.C. BARCELONA , BAYERN MUNICH

David Luiz, who joined The Blues in 2011 from Benfica was forced to the side lines in their 2013 campaign under Jose Mourinho. He had so far made a mere 5 appearances under him this season. Luis, 26 was strongly linked with a summer transfer to Barcelona, but failed in a dispute over the transfer fee. The latest buzz is that both Pep Guardiola and Gerardo Martino is keen to bolster their defense by signing the unsettled Brazilian defender who can also be played as a defensive midfielder. Hope all still remember that goal line save from him in the Confederation Cup final when he cleared a sure goal shot from Spain’s Pedro? He was one of the architect behind the Blues 2012 Uefa league and 2013 Europa league victorious campaign.

In the Brazilian squad he has to fight for his place along with Dante, the teenage sensation Marquinhos, Leandro Castan, Miranda and Thiago Silva, the captain who is expected to be a sure starter in the playing eleven. In the recently end friendlies, Luiz Felipe Scolari has called both Leandra Castan and Miranda who are having an excellent run with their club sides. So he might be seen in the Chelsea shirt for the last time this December and for a place in the “Samba XI” he has to thing about a future outside Stamford Bridge.
