David Luiz has extended his stay at Chelsea by signing a new two-year deal which will keep him at the club until June 2021.
The 32-year-old's contract was set to run out in the summer, but with Chelsea facing a two-window transfer ban starting immediately, the club made a decision to keep Luiz at Stamford Bridge.
The Brazilian stated upon signing his contract extension: "I am so happy to be here and to have this opportunity to stay. I love this club and I still have the ambition of a young player.
"It means a lot to reach another European final, and we still have the opportunity to finish in the top three of the Premier League this season and I will continue to try to do my best to help the team."
Luiz featured for Chelsea as the English club defeated Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League semi-final on penalties on Thursday night.
Following the win against Frankfurt, Luiz was asked if he will be at Chelsea next season and said: “Yes I think so.
“I love this club. My great moments in football were here, especially the European titles – the Champions League and Europa League.
“My relation with the fans has always been great since the first day I played here."
