Chelsea to send Filipe Luis back to Atletico Madrid in order to land Rahman from Augsburg

Chelsea left-back Filipe Luis could be on his way back to Atletico Madrid as the Blues look to make room for Augsburg defender Baba Rahman.

Luis joined Chelsea for £15.8million last season, but after only 12 Premier League appearances for the London club, The Mirror is reporting the Brazilian could be on his way back to the Vincente Calderon Stadium.

Luis' departure is set to pave the way for Chelsea to step-up their pursuit of Rahman, who is reportedly keen on a move to Stamford Bridge.

Roma are also believed to be interested in the 20-year-old Ghanaian.
