Catalan newspaper Sport reports that Chelsea have agreed to meet his €25m release clause. It is a ‘done-deal’ scenario. Luis still training with Atletico, but will move to London as soon as the deal is made official.

It's a lot of money for a 28 year old... but there aren't exactly many world-class LBs plying their trade at the moment, are there?

I would have liked if we signed De Sciglio too if we could get him for cheap. Promising lad, very composed for his age. Luis could have mentored him into a true WC, and LB position wouldn't be a problem again in a few years.

Aye. I wasn't too happy when I heard were gonna replace Cole with Luis but then I reliazed that there ain't any good available left backs at the moment. If we could lower the fee a bit, it would be a good transfer.

The Atletico Madrid left-back had a medical yesterday ahead of a £20m switch, according to the Times.

Atletico Madrid and Chelsea have reached an agreement to transfer the rights of Filipe Luis, pending the medical with the English club. The Brazilian footballer had told our club at the end of the campaign his willingness to join the London entity.

From the club we wish him luck in his new assignment

Confirmed

[DanishBlue 426]

YES!!! Super player!! Welcome

[Special Juan 27,553]

All happening thick and fast now.

So, around £15m then. With Diego Costa both clubs announced that the buy-out had been met but here it just says an agreement has been found so I can only assume we got the €5m discount that has been rumoured in the last few days.

Cracking business, welcome Filipe. :blue scalf:

[zyzz 711]

Luis, Cesc and Costa... fantastic business

[The Skipper 20,593]

So, around £15m then.

Where did you get this from?

[Cosmin 2,484]

I wonder who's next.

[Special Juan 27,553]

Some reporters saying it on Twitter, but again, I doubt many know.
