Atletico Madrid have had a £10 million bid for Luis Filipe accepted by Deportivo La Coruna.

The Brazilian full-back is rated as one of the finest left-sided players in Spain and was a likely candidate to play in the position for his country at the World Cup in South Africa.

However, the 23-year-old broke his fibula against Athletic Bilbao in January and despite returning before the end of the season, Lyon's Michel Bastos was given the role.

Filipe, has made over 100 appearances for Deportivo, and will sign a four-year deal after undergoing a medical.

Depor are using the sale to pay off some of the debts they owe for other players.

"We believe there are only a few details left to be sorted out," Depor president Lendoiro said on arrival at a Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) meeting in Madrid.

"Until there is something signed, there is nothing we can say (officially), but let's say things are very advanced.

"I imagine he (Filipe) is already here (in Madrid). The idea I have is that he will have arrived (to finalise the move)."
