Chelsea Close In On £20Million Filipe Luis Signing From Atletico Madrid [Report]

Brazilian left-back, Felipe Luiz is set to line up at Stamford Bridge next season alongside Atletico Madrid team-mate Diego Costa following negotiations between the two clubs, Goal reports. The Londoners have told the Spanish champions they will pay the £20million release clause in the 28-year-old's contract.
Manager, Jose Mourinho has already bolstered his squad by signing Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona for £28.4m and a deal worth up to £35m for Diego Costa is expected to be completed imminently.

Losing another key figure in Atletico's title triumph is a blow for the Spanish club's manager Diego Simeone. But the Champions League runners-up were prepared for the defender's departure and have already signed his replacement, with fellow Brazilian Siqueira joining from Granada last week for £8million.
Mourinho had moved for Southampton's Luke Shaw to fill the left-back slot that was taken by Cesar Azpilicueta for the second half of last season. However, the Londoners were not prepared to match the £160,000-a-week offer tabled to the player by Manchester United, who are confident they have wrapped up a £27m deal for the England international.

Chelsea and Atletico have also been negotiating the future of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who has spent the last three seasons on loan in Madrid. It is understood that the manager is keen to promote Courtois and encourage long-serving No. 1 Petr Cech to find a new club.
