Chelsea reaches deal on Luis
Print Edition
CHELSEA has reached a deal to sign Filipe Luis from Atletico Madrid subject to the defender agreeing personal terms with the Premier League club.
Luis impressed as Atletico won the Spanish title and reached the Champions League final last season and the Brazilian left-back is likely to fill the void left by Ashley Cole’s move to Roma. Blues boss Jose Mourinho got a close look at Luis when Atletico knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League semifinals last season
“Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with Atletico Madrid for the transfer of Filipe Luis,” Chelsea said in a statement.
The 28-year-old is poised to become Chelsea’s second signing from Atletico after Spain striker Diego Costa completed his move on Tuesday. Luis is reported to have cost 20 million pounds (US$34 million) after Chelsea agreed to pay the buy-out clause in his contract.
