However, The Sun says Chelsea are now exploring the prospect of taking over Luiz's loan for the remainder of the season.
It's suggested Chelsea will make their move today in an effort to wrap up an agreement swiftly.
Blues management are eager to find midfield cover for the likes of Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer - and Luiz fits the bill given his ability to play in several positions.
So far this term, Luiz has managed just 13 appearances for Forest.
