According to latest reports, Chelsea have increased their interest for Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann as they are ready to splash enough cash and will also offer former Atletico Madrid player Filipe Luis as part of the deal.
The 24-year old have joined Atletico Madrid last season from Real Sociedad and have scored 22 goals in 34 appearances this season and have drawn interest from Premier League champions Chelsea.
Chelsea want to activate his release clause which is valued at £43million and want to offer Filipe Luis as part of the deal to be ahead of the competitors. The player have drawn interest from Arsenal, Manchester United and Bayern Munich other than Chelsea.
The French International was brought in as a replacement to Diego Costa last summer and Griezmann has become an instant hit at Atletico Madrid.
Vicente Calderon icon Tiago has insisted that Filipe Luis is always welcome at Atletico Madrid. He said, “We all know Filipe. I love him. If he is not happy then he knows the doors are open here.”
The player would be a valuable addition to Chelsea as they look to defend their Premier League title next season.
