Out-of-favour Brazilian “happy” to stay at Chelsea
Out-of-favour Chelsea defender Filipe Luis has rubbished reports linking him with a move away, insisting that he wants to stay at Stamford Bridge for the duration of his contract.
The Brazil left-back has struggled for first-team chances following a £16 million switch from Atletico Madrid in July, with Cesar Azpilicueta often favoured by Jose Mourinho.
Having started just seven Premier League games, speculation has mounted that a summer exit is on the cards, with Atletico reportedly keen on a reunion.
However, the 29-year-old, whose contract expires in 2017, has insisted that he is not going anywhere. He told ESPN: “I’m happy at Chelsea. I want to stay at the club until the end of my contract.
“We have a chance to win the Premier League. Everyone wants to be there to try to help the team to win the league.”
