Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is considering a summer move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke, which could involve Filipe Luis and cash.

According to various reports in the Spanish capital, Blues boss Jose Mourinho has his heart set on signing the impressive midfielder after watching his performances for at the Vicente Calderon this season.

The Spanish international has a £44m release clause in his contract with the Spanish champions and it is reported that Chelsea will attempt to soften the figure by offering former Atleti defender Filipe Luis in return.

Luis has struggled to find his feet in the Premier League this season and is keen on a move back to Spain.

Koke, who has been at Atletico for 15-years, is happy to remain with Diego Simeone’s side but Chelsea are confident they can tempt him with a lucrative contract offer.
