Atletico Madrid reveal £50m price tag on Chelsea target Koke as the Blues prepare for the possible departure of Filipe Luis, according to the Mirror.

Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo has been monitoring the 23-year-old and has placed Koke on their hit list for this summers transfer window.

But Spanish side Atletico Madrid will be demanding that any club interested meets their buy-out clause within Koke’s contract which is set to expire in 2019, and will be ensuring that he is not let go cheaply.

The Spanish press are reporting that Atletico could be interested in a player-plus-cash deal involving Chelsea full-back Filipe Luis.

Luis arrived at Stamford Bridge from former club Atletico Madrid last summer for £15m but has failed to compete with Cesar Azpilicueta in the left-back position, making only seven Premier League starts for the Blues.

Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea side are currently top of the Barclays Premier League having accumulated 76 points, 10 points ahead of Arsenal in second.
