Chelsea re-open Filipe Luis talks with Atletico Madrid

Chelsea have returned to the negotiating table for Atletico Madrid fullback Filipe Luis. The Daily Mail says the left-back is viewed as a priority signing by boss Jose Mourinho but the Blues have so far been frustrated in their attempts to sign Luis.

The 28-year-old has a release clause, understood to be in the region of £20million, that Chelsea have been reluctant to trigger.

But Stamford Bridge chiefs are back in talks with their Spanish counterparts with a view to concluding the protracted transfer in the coming days.
