Chelsea to sell Filipe Luis to Atletico Madrid

Chelsea are expected to allow defender Filipe Luis make his way back to La Liga with Atletico Madrid, according to reports.

The Brazilian international has struggled to cement his place in the first-team at the Blues, with manager Jose Mourinho favouring Cesar Azpilicueta for the left-back role.

Having made just 14 appearances for the Premier League holders last season, there has been speculation that the talented defender could seek a return to his former club Atleti.

According to The Mirror, Luis has been granted his wish to rejoin the Basque outfit in the summer transfer window.

A fee has yet to be finalized between the clubs for the transfer.
