The way it is playing out seems to back that up don't you think?
If that is the case then surely Benfica will continue to rebuff Chelsea and because they know we will come along if not this transfer window then in the summer.
We cannot assume that the issue is with a fee between clubs. Perhaps the players personal terms are the issue?

I don't agree at all - either with the sentiment that we have an agreement with Chelsea, or that we're interested in signing Luiz.
Regarding an agreement with Chelsea, I think the owners would see it as bad business to have an agreement like that with one of our main competitors in our domestic league. I can see us agreeing with Real for example to not go after the same players, but Chelsea...nah, no chance. I've not even mentioned Hiddink destabilizing both Hughes and Mancini with strategically placed comments in the press due to his close relationship with Roman...
Regarding Luiz - I don't think he's what we need at centre half, which is why I don't think we're in for him.

If Chelsea say no then City will jump in and buy the lad @ just below £25m
IMHO.
This is surely nonsense.

Chelsea's £21m David Luiz deal hits a hitch
Published 23:00 24/01/11 By Darren Lewis
Chelsea's £21.5million move for Benfica defender David Luiz is under threat because the two clubs still cannot agree a fee for the player.
Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti is desperate to land the 23-year-old centre-back and had been confident of signing him in a cash-plus-player deal.
Talks have stalled, however, because Benfica want £21.5m plus either youngster Jeffrey Bruma or Patrick van Aanholt.
Chelsea say that the Portuguese club can have one of the two players but only on loan, NOT on a permanent basis.
Luiz, who has made 126 appearances in five seasons at the Stadio De Luz, was left out of the Benfica side that beat Nacional 4-2 on Saturday night.

He is off to Chelsea. They have a work permit hearing scheduled for Wednesday.
Shame really, will be the best centre back in the world in a few years.
