Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have agreed upon a £50 million transfer fee for David Luiz, a new world record fee for a defender.

Luiz went to Chelsea in January 2011 for £21.3 million from Benfica.

Luiz has three years left on a five-year contract he signed in September 2012.

Luiz has received interest from Barcelona over the past two summers, but PSG are willing to break the transfer record for a defender. Luiz would join fellow Brazillian Thiago Silva on the PSG backline.
