The Brazilian was frozen out by former boss Antonio Conte last season but the veteran defender is back in the fold following Sarri’s appointment.
Sarri’s tenure opened with a victory over Perth Glory in Australia and a penalty shoot-out success over Inter Milan at the International Champions Cup – Luiz marshalled Chelsea’s defence in both fixtures.
And the 31-year-old – who re-joined Chelsea in 2016 having originally arrived in 2011 before leaving for Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain in 2014 – is determined to remain in London.

‘I came back to Chelsea to stay here,’ Luiz said.
‘When I took my decision to come back here from Paris it was to win the Premier League and to do something again with Chelsea, so I am very happy here.
‘I love his philosophy,’ he said of Sarri. ‘We play high, with a lot of possession of the ball, in a technical way. He’s trying to help us every single day to learn quickly his philosophy, to do our best for Chelsea.
‘You guys know me — I like to be happy, to enjoy my life. We have the best job in the world. [Sarri] came with this idea as a human being, so I think if you’re not happy to do your job it doesn’t matter if you’re a footballer or not. We have to be happy to do our best.’
