Spanish club talk up interest

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has admitted that the club are desperate to sign Chelsea left-back Filipe Luis.

The Brazil international only left the Spanish capital last summer to join the Premier League champions in a transfer worth £16million, with him signing a three-year deal.

The Blues want at least £14million for the former Atletico star, who started just nine Premier League games last campaign.

Simeone Wants Deal

Simeone confirmed that he wants to sign the left-back this summer, he said: “He’s a player we’re very fond of and he knows us well and gave so much to the team.

“I hope this one comes off.” he added.

Chelsea’s Begovic Business

In the meantime, Chelsea are close to signing Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.

The Premier League duo have agreed an £8million transfer fee, which will see a Blues player move to the Britannia Stadium on a season-long loan deal.

Potters manager Mark Hughes is interested in Victor Moses, Patrick Bamford and Ruben Loftus-Cheek but the player hasn’t been officially confirmed as of yet.
