Filipe Luis Reveals He Had Offers From Borussia Dortmund & 3 Other Top Clubs This Summer

Brazilian defender Filipe Luis has revealed that he rejected a number of offers from elite European clubs before deciding to join Flamengo this summer.

Although his contract with Atletico Madrid expired this summer, there was still a good chance he'd be playing at the top level elsewhere with plenty of other clubs showing interest.

But instead of opting for a move to the likes of Manchester City, the Brazilian full back opted to return to Brazil with Flamengo.

But the decision to join them was not a straightforward, the player revealed during an interview with Esporte Espectacular, with a number of other options on the table.
