Griezmann To Chelsea Transfer Takes Interesting Twist, Deal Back On After Mourinho Denial

Today’s reports have stated that Filipe Luiz has demanded to leave Chelsea this transfer window. Though little is known of his reasons for wanting to leave the premier league champions, it is clear that he is not interested in playing under Jose Mourinho next season. And all indication points that he would be leaving. Chelsea will allow him leave and hope to use him as leverage to get their target Antoinne Griezmann.

The Brazilian who arrived from Atletico Madrid last season alongside Diego Costa is hoping on a return to his former club and Chelsea will want to see this deal go through as they look to snap up another Atletico Madrid.

The Brazilian had 26 appearances for the English side but was mostly average, and it might be suggested that he has been below par. Indeed his Squawka score of 207 is disappointing. Given his performance the past three years with Atletico Madrid, then you would understand why we think he hasn’t been up to his own standard.

Barring any last minute change of mind, Chelsea fans should not expect to see Luis at the Bridge next season. What more could be said about him, he came, he conquered? That’s for fans to decide. However, with Chelsea seemingly keen on Griezmann, this transfer could have an interesting implication.
