Atletico Madrid’s experienced left-back Filipe Luis hasn’t signed a contract extension with the club and his current contract expires in the summer. Hence, the Brazilian will be a free agent once the transfer window reopens.
According to a report in Daily Mail, La Liga giants Barcelona are eyeing up a move for the 33-year-old, as they seek a cover for Jordi Alba. The Catalans view him as a perfect fit to come to the Camp Nou(h/t Mundo Deportivo)
It is also suggested that Italian champions Juventus are also interested in the left-back.
However, here’s why Everton should take centre-stage and sign the Atletico Madrid in the summer window:
At the current point in time, Everton have two options at left-back – Lucas Digne and Leighton Baines. The former was bought last summer from Barcelona and he is slowly taking over the first-choice role from the latter – who is now 34 and reaching the twilight of his career.
Furthermore, the Toffees’ trusted lieutenant for all these years in the past decade hasn’t signed a contract extension yet and is current contract ends in the coming summer.
Hence, in a way, Everton would be required to dip into the market for a new left-back when the window reopens.
The way Digne has performed in his first season in the Premier League, Marco Silva might need someone who can take over the first-choice left-back role. Despite his good attacking play, the former Barcelona man hasn’t been secure at the back.
Getting someone like Filipe Luis would be an absolute mood-lifter in the club. Even though the Brazilian is 33, his performance levels have been on the highest level.
In a recent Champions League game against favourites Juventus, the Atletico put in fantastic shift at left-back.
Hence, if Everton manage to get him by any chance, then they can have someone who can add loads of quality down the left-hand side of their back-line.
