Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has issued a firm hands-off warning to Barcelona over David Luiz, insisting they will reject all offers.
The 26-year-old has been heavily-linked with a shock exit, with the La Liga champions reportedly keen on luring him to Camp Nou.
But Mourinho poured cold water on any hope of a move, declaring Luiz will not be sold for any price.
No chance he is going to leave. He is a player we want to keep, Mourinho told BT Sport.
He is a player with four years (on his) contract, he just signed a contract last year.
We like him. He is an important player for the club and the club is not ready to sell him for any price.
The Brazil international joined Chelsea in 2011 and is just one season into a five-year deal signed last September.
There have been reports the former Benfica defender has told team-mates of his desire to leave Stamford Bridge but Mourinho says that is news to him.
I don t know if he said that. What I can say is that he is not going to, he said.
The last quotes I read were Luiz saying he is not speaking about clubs when he is with the national team, which is a fantastic quote that I appreciate.
When they are with the national team they are national team players, they are not club players.
