Chelsea have agreed to sell defender Filipe Luis back to Atletico Madrid, according to Sky Sports.
The Blues have reportedly recouped £15m of the £15.8m they paid the La Liga side for the Brazilian left-back last summer.
Luis struggled to make an impression at Stamford Bridge last season, making just 26 appearances as Cesar Azpilicueta’s consistent performances kept him out of the side.
And it appears Blues boss Jose Mourinho has decided to cut his losses, with Luis ignoring reported interest from Inter Milan to return to the side he won the La Liga title with in 2014.
The agreement is the latest in a number of deals to go through between the two clubs, after Luis, Diego Costa and on-loan Thibaut Courtois moved to west London last summer.
Luis's departure is expected to see Chelsea step up their interests in Augsburg defender Abdul Baba Rahman, who is also being monitored closely by Roma.
