David Luiz 'has turned down moves to Marseille and Salernitana following his Arsenal exit this summer... as he eyes a return to his native Brazil after 14 years in Europe'

David Luiz has reportedly snubbed moves to both Ligue 1 and Serie A since leaving Arsenal on a free transfer this summer as he continues the search for his next club.

The centre-back departed the Emirates in July after the club decided not to extend his contract, keen to get his £100,000-a-week salary off their wage bill, and he has since been on the lookout for the next chapter in his career - linked heavily with a move back to Brazil with Flamengo.

And according to Le 10 Sport, Luiz has already said no to two offers from Europe - one from Marseille, and another from Salernitana in the Italian top flight - but neither bid will succeed as he is intent on returning home.
