Atletico Madrid President Enrique Cerezo Says Filipe Luis Talks Taking Place With Chelsea
Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has confirmed that the club are in talks with Chelsea to re-sign full-back Filipe Luis.
GOAL
Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has confirmed that the club are in talks with Chelsea to re-sign full-back Filipe Luis.
The Brazil international only moved to Stamford Bridge from Atletico last summer but has struggled for first-team opportunities, appearing only 11 times in the starting XI in the Premier League.
And though Cerezo says that bringing Filipe Luis back to the club would be a boost, a deal will only be done if it makes financial sense.
"There are negotiations in place but I don't know how fruitful they will be," he told COPE. "Filipe Luis is a magnificent player. We would be delighted if he comes back and I think that, in the end, we will find a solution.
"As always, the financial aspect takes precedence over the sentimental aspect but I believe a deal can be reached."
Filipe Luis was a regular as Diego Simeone's side won the Primera Division title and reached the Champions League final in 2013-14 before moving to London, where he has two years remaining on his current contract with the English champions.
