Asked about the rumours linking Deportivo La Coruña left back defender Filipe Luis (23) with Barcelona, the player's agent Jose Carlos Lages has said in an interview with Galicia regional newspaper El Ideal Gallego that Deportivo is at this moment asking too much for the Brazilian:
"Our wish is that the player can leave if Barcelona offers 10 million euro°, because I think that's a good fee for the transfer. The club already informed us that they want to sell him, but for a price that is not in accordance with the current market. They are asking too much."
Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Deportivo president Augusto César Lendoiro will return from Mexico later today and that the negotiations could be picked up tomorrow (read more here). Deportivo is at this moment asking 15 million euro°, while Barcelona is offering 8 million euro°. Also because they have the support of the player, Barcelona is confident to close a deal. A Barcelona youth player, possibly Barcelona wing attacker Pedro (21), could be included in the final agreement.
