Paris Saint-Germain defender David Luiz is sure that he will be happier playing his football in Paris than if he had joined Barcelona.

The Brazilian international left Chelsea to join Laurent Blanc's side this summer, signing a five-year contract with Les Parisiens, and costing the club €50m.




Justifying his decision, the 27-year-old added that he was absolutely sure that he would be happier at PSG than anywhere else.

"I was sure that I would be happier here in Paris than in Barcelona", Luiz said in an interview with Telefoot.

"PSG is a club of the future, so I'm happy to be here and I think I'll stay here for many years to come."

Luiz also took time to thank his national team-mate Thiago Silva and PSG manager Blanc, who, according to him, were instrumental in finalising his decision.

"I talked a lot with Thiago Silva and also with coach Laurent Blanc who helped to make my decision easy."

For now, Luiz's aim will be to do well with PSG in the Champions League.

"The next objective is the Champions League", the former Chelsea player added.
