David Luiz pays tribute to PSG president

David Luiz pays tribute to PSG president
The Brazil international is heading back to Stamford Bridge after two years in France, and he revealed his gratitude to everybody at PSG as he prepared to leave
David Luiz thanked Paris-Saint Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi in a heartfelt message reflecting on his time at the club after securing a transfer back to Chelsea.
Al-Khelaifi made David Luiz the world's most expensive defender when he paid Chelsea £50million to take him to Parc des Princes on a five-year contract in June 2014.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte pulled off the major headline of transfer deadline day by taking David Luiz back to Stamford Bridge in a deal reportedly worth £34m, and the player took to Instagram to pay tribute to the staff and supporters at PSG.
"Working life sometimes offers the opportunity to enjoy great moments of satisfaction," he wrote. "Thank you, President Nasser Al-Khelaifi, for all the good moments of satisfaction I experienced at Paris Saint-Germain.
A vida profissional, por vezes, oferece a oportunidade de usufruir de grandes momentos de satisfaçao. Obrigado, Presidente Nasser Al-Khelaifi, por todos esses bons momentos de satisfação vividos junto ao Paris Saint-Germain. Agradeço também a todos os meus colegas de equipe, aos meus dois treinadores, comissao técnica e a todas estas pessoas incríveis funcionarias do clube com quem eu tive o prazer de compartilhar meus dias no Centro de Treinamento e no Parque dos Principes.

La vie professionnelle offre parfois l’occasion de grandes satisfactions.

David Luiz helped PSG to a Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue treble in both of his two seasons at the club and he was named in the FIFA World Team of the Year at the 2014 Ballon d'Or awards.
The 29-year-old Brazil international scored eight goals in 89 games in all competitions for PSG, but will now seek to add to the 142 appearances he made in a Chelsea shirt between 2010 and 2014.
