Filipe Luis Player Profile
The left-back has failed to force his way into Jose Mourinho's first-team plans, with Cesar Azpilicueta preferred behind Eden Hazard on the pitch.
Luis has made just 13 Premier League appearances this season after joining from Atletico last summer, and newspaper El Confidencial claims that he is longing for a reunion with Diego Simeone.
Cristian Ansaldi is set to return to Zenit Saint Petersburg when his loan deal expires, and Simeone could make a move for Luis to provide competition for Guilherme Siqueira.
It is added that Chelsea are interested in signing Antoine Griezmann, and could use Luis as bait to land the France international.
