Barcelona keen on signing Atletico Madrid's Filipe Luis as free agent

Barcelona have revived their interest in Atletico Madrid's Filipe Luis, Goal has learned, with the Blaugrana seeking cover for first-choice left-back Jordi Alba, whom the Catalan side feel is suffering from exhaustion after a long season.

Alba has amassed a total of 54 appearances across La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey in the 2018-19 campaign and with the 30-year-old now entering the final years of his career, the Barca bosses are keen on signing cover.

Despite being 33 years old, Luis currently tops the wishlist of those in power at Camp Nou as the Brazilian's contract with Atleti will expire on June 30 of this year, meaning Barca can snap up a proven performer on a free transfer.
