The 28-year-old Brazilian will undergo a medical and agree personal terms before completing the transfer, which will see him fill the void left by Ashley Cole’s move to AS Roma.
“Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with Atletico Madrid for the transfer of Filipe Luis. The move is subject to the 28-year-old left-back agreeing personal terms,” the Blues said in a statement.
If the move goes through, Luis will become the second Atletico player to move to Stamford Bridge this week, with Diego Costa having completed his transfer yesterday.
