Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona isn't reconsidering the transfer of Deportivo La Coruña left back defender Filipe Luis (23).
Filipe could leave on a free transfer when FIFA makes public later this week a judgment in an old case between Filipe and Deportivo saying that the Spanish club loses all their rights on the player (read more here).
Although Barcelona has valued a lot the attitude of the player during the whole process by putting pressure on his club, the left back position is at this moment not a position to be strengthened after the signing of Maxwell. If Barcelona wouldn't be able to sign a left winger, the situation could again change. Filipe Luis didn't want to comment on the matter yesterday.
