City gent: Benfica defender and Chelsea transfer
target David Luiz (R) would prefer a move to Eastlands
Manchester City have been encouraged to step up
long-time interest in Benfica defender David Luiz after he
indicated he would prefer a move to Eastlands over
Chelsea.
City have been trying to sign £25m-rated Luiz since May but were
reluctant to get involved in an auction and have made moves to sign
Sporting Lisbon defender Daniel Carrico.
City, meanwhile, are ready to release striker Kelvin Etuhu, 22,
on a free transfer
