Barcelona are reportedly interested in securing the signing of Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis on a free transfer.

Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Barcelona.

Luis is currently in his second spell at Atletico, but the 33-year-old has less than six months remaining on his contract and could leave in the summer.

The Brazilian would not be short of offers should he become a free agent, and according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona hold an interest in the left-back.

The report claims that the Catalan giants are keen to find backup for left-back Jordi Alba, and the addition of the experienced Luis without paying a fee appeals to the club.

Luis has made 17 starts and three substitute outings in La Liga and the Champions League during the current campaign.
