Official: David Luiz joins a surprising new club

David Luiz, a 38-year-old defender who has played for teams such as Benfica, Chelsea (where he won the Champions League), Paris Saint-Germain (2014-2016), Arsenal, and Flamengo (where he won the Copa Libertadores), has just embarked on a surprising new challenge in his career. The Brazilian international (57 caps) is indeed leaving Brazil (where he was at Fortaleza) and has committed to a 2-year contract with Pafos FC in Cyprus.

"From Brazil to Europe, from the glory of the Champions League to the Copa Libertadores — a new chapter is now being written in Cyprus. A historic day for our club. A new era begins. The future is now and David Luiz is part of it!

Seeing David back in Europe was far from a given, especially to such a beautiful destination. But this could be a great challenge to experience, with a new league and a country to discover.

Not to mention that there is hope of playing in the Champions League, with a qualifying round to be played against Dynamo Kiev (Tuesday, August 5 and Tuesday, August). David Luiz's experience and defensive qualities can only be great assets. And why not a furious header from a corner a few minutes from the end?
