😳 No one saw this coming: former world star returns to Europe | OneFootball

While most footballers are currently winding down their careers in Saudi Arabia or the USA, Champions League winner and former world star David Luiz has chosen a different path. The Brazilian is moving to FC Pafos in Cyprus.

Upon his arrival on the island, the long-time Chelsea defense chief was fanatically welcomed by the Cypriot fans.

In the next season, the Brazilian could even play in the Champions League with his new club. After the Cypriot champion defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv in the CL qualification, they will face Dynamo Kiev next week for a spot in the top tier.

Before his return to Europe, David Luiz was active in his home country of Brazil for a long time. A return to Europe was considered unlikely for a long time, with some even saying it was almost impossible.
