Filipe Luis is returning to Atletico Madrid just one year after they sold him to Chelsea. The left-back moved to Stamford Bridge for a reported £15.8m a year ago, having helped Atleti win La Liga.
Now the Brazil international has signed up to return to the Vicente Calderon for four seasons.
Luis won the Premier League with Chelsea and scored in their League Cup final victory, but only played 26 games overall under Jose Mourinho.
"Happy! Glad to be coming home and to be a new Atleti player," Luis posted on Twitter.
Atletico's sporting director, Jose Luis Perez, called Luis "one of the most talented [wing-backs] in the world. He already knows our club and our way of playing, so he will adapt quickly."
A statement on Chelsea's official website announced simply: "We wish him all the best for the future."
