Atletico Madrid are ready to challenge European heavyweights Juventus and Barcelona for the signature of Deportivo La Coruna’s Filipe Luis.
The 23-year-old left-back looks almost certain to leave the Riazor this summer as numerous big guns have come calling for him following an impressive season. But Atleti could emerge as the surprise favourites to land the Brazilian. According to AS, Los Colchoneros currently have two players, Jurado and Miguel de las Cuevas, who are of particular interest to Depor coach Miguel Angel Lotina and a player-plus-cash swap could be in the works. In addition, the Galicians still owe the capital side €2 million for the permanent transfer of Ze Castro. Juve have yet to make any offers for Filipe, however, Barca recently saw a bid of €5 million plus two players in exchange shot down. Deportivo president Cesar Lendoiro has rated his star wing-back at €15 million.
