Chelsea defender Filipe Luis is ready to call time on his career at Stamford Bridge and move back to Atletico Madrid, Football Express News understands.
The Brazilian joined the Blues last summer from Atletico Madrid, together with Diego Costa, but while his teammate has enjoyed a brilliant start to the career in England, the defender has largely struggled to make an impact.
Luis only made a total of 22 Premier League appearances as he continues to play second fiddle to Cesar Azpilicueta, and it appears he is hoping to return to Spanish La Liga.
It is known that that the defender notified his former team-mate and close friend Joao Miranda of his desire to leave Chelsea.
It remains to be seen whether Luis will be on the move in the summer transfer window, but there is a chance Atletico could offer him an escape route from Stamford Bridge.
Prior to joining Chelsea, the Brazilian had spent four very successful years at Vicente Calderon, making 127 La Liga appearances.
With his displays over the past few seasons earning him many plaudits as was a key player in Atletico’s successful season in which they won the La Liga and got to the final of the UEFA champions league.
