Arsenal defender David Luiz facing huge pay-cut to join Benfica
Story by Emmanuel Anele
Arsenal defender David Luiz faces a huge pay-cut to join Benfica next season.
The Mirror says Luiz is still waiting for the Gunners to tell him if they will be triggering a one-year extension to the deal he signed when he moved to the Emirates from Chelsea for £8million.
Luiz has confirmed that he has already spoken to Benfica Luis Filipe Vieira about a return to the Stadium of Light, nine years after he joined Chelsea for the first time in a £22million move.
But the Lisbon club have a salary cap of £32,000-a-week.
And that means Luiz would see his wages slashed by more than half if he goes back to Portugal.
Luiz has played 32 times in all competitions for Arsenal since moving across London, scoring twice.
