Soccer-Filipe Luis poised for Atletico return, president says

MADRID, July 21 (Reuters) - Chelsea's Brazil left back
Filipe Luis is poised to return to Atletico Madrid after one
season at Chelsea where he failed to hold down a regular first
team place, Atletico president Enrique Cerezo said on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old made a mere 26 appearances in all
competitions in 2014-15, with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho
preferring to use Spain international Cesar Azpilicueta, and
Mourinho confirmed on Tuesday that Filipe Luis was on his way.
"In this moment we need a left back because I think we are
selling Filipe Luis now or tomorrow," Mourinho told reporters at
Chelsea's pre-season training camp in Montreal, Canada.
"We need to go to the market... and we are going for a left
back. In other positions we have no space," added the
Portuguese.
Cerezo was quoted in Spanish media as saying at a dinner for
the Atletico squad that "it would not take long" for Filipe Luis
to return to the side with which he won the 2013-14 La Liga
title, the Europa League in 2012 and the King's Cup in 2013.
