Spanish champions Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund are in a race to sign Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis according to reports coming out of the media in Germany.
Filipe Luis is expected to leave Atletico Madrid this summer and he has been touted as a possible transfer addition to the playing squad at Barcelona and German Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.
The 33-year-old has been a wonderful player for Atletico Madrid since he signed for the club in 2010.
The Brazilian international player joined Atletico Madrid from fellow Spanish La Liga club Deportivo La Coruna.
Filipe Luis briefly left the club for Premier League giants Chelsea between 2014 and 2015.
He made just 15 league appearances for Chelsea during that season before returning to Atletico Madrid in 2015.
Filipe Luis has been the first choice left-back at Atletico Madrid since the start of his second spell at the club.
The Brazilian defender is said to favour a move to five-time European champions Barcelona this summer ahead of other interested clubs.
Barcelona want to sign Felipe Luis as a backup for first choice left-back Jordi Alba ahead of next season.
Jordi Alba is the undisputed first choice at Barcelona and he recently impressed as the Blaugrana sealed a semifinal berth in the Champions League via a 4-0 aggregate win.
