Barcelona have reportedly reignited their interest in Chelsea defender David Luiz.

The Brazil international, who joined the Blues from Benfica in January of 2011, has been on the Catalan club's radar for some time.

Barcelona's interest in Luiz appeared to have cooled down over recent months as they reportedly made the 25-year-old's international team-mate Thiago Silva their top transfer target.

However, AC Milan are not willing to sell Silva and the Spanish giants are now ready to shift their focus on Luiz, according to El Mundo Deportivo.
