Chelsea Transfer News: Latest on Filipe Luis and Axel Witsel Rumours

Atletico Madrid's bid to bring Filipe Luis back from Chelsea during the summer transfer window appears to be gaining steam, with club president Enrique Cerezo confirming there have been positive talks between both sides.

Speaking to COPE (h/t Goal, for beIN Sports), he said:

There are negotiations in place but I don't know how fruitful they will be. 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.
