The Athletico Madrid defender is very closed to completing a move to Stamford Bridge soon for £20m.

“Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with Atletico Madrid for the transfer of
Filipe Luís.
The move is subject to the 28-year-old left-back agreeing personal terms”, says the club website.

Chelsea have announced they have reached an agreement with Atlético Madrid over the transfer of the defender Filipe Luís for a fee understood to be around £20m.

The Brazil left-back has been earmarked as a long-term replacement for Ashley Cole, who joined Roma this week.

Filipe Luís joined Atlético from Deportivo de La Coruña in 2010 and played 180 matches. He helped them win La Liga
last season and played in their defeat to rivals Real Madrid in last season’s Champions League final.
