Original Source: Spanish Football Sprts /Straight from the horses mouth, metaphorically speaking, as ATLETICO DE MADRID President Enrique Cerezo has said publicly that he thinks that signing of 28 year old French defender ROD FANNI of STADE RENNES is close. The Spanish Club President said that Atletico is currently negotiating with the French Club & things are moving forward but he could not tell when they would come to good port. Simply said, President Cerezo commented that we will have to wait for further news. 
To this Atletico de Madrid is also looking to strengthen the Left Back position with Brazilian & DEPORTIVO defender LUIS FELIPE the chosen player. Deportivo has a “hard nut to crack” reputation when it comes to negotiating with its players & it may take more than habitual time to conclude this particular operation.
Lastly, President Cerezo also added that to the Right & Left Back positions, a midfielder is on the list of next season signings, but could not give a name.
Stay tuned!

Deportivo A Coruña & Brazilian left back LUIS FELIPE is considered one of the best players in his position of the Spanish League. The player was on the verge of landing at FC BARCELONA last season & was also on the agenda of REAL MADRID. A terrible leg injury – broken bone – left him out of action most of the season & he managed to timidly get back on the field to play a few minutes in the last part of the season.
According to Spanish Sporting daily “AS” ATLETICO DE MADRID has approached DEPORTIVO to negotiate the transfer of Luis Felipe for next season. Deportivo asks for 15M€ while Atletico desires to lower that figure. Atletico may consider adding one of its players, Diego Costa, into the operation in an attempt to lower the economic pretensions of Deportivo.
Luis Felipe is a great player, a defender with speed down the flank & with plenty of goal. The Brazilian would have been part of the World Cup squad had he not been injured all season. Atletico would win class & youth if they can succeed in convincing Deportivo to sell the defender. Stay tuned!
Enough of Real Madrid, its time to talk about ATLETICO DE
MADRID :-)
Seriously, there is news from “AS” that the Madrid Club has its eyes
on DEPORTIVO A CORUÑA 23 year old Brazilian left wing defender
FELIPE LUIS. There are Clubs like FC Barcelona ( option to substitute
Sylvinho) & Juventus who are also interested & the price of transfer
being talked about is around 15M€. Atletico wishes to lower this
price by including players in the operation like Jurado & De La
Cuevas, plus Deportivo still owns 2M€ to Atletico for Ze Castro.
Negotiations will get on the way, & they promise to be long & hard
fought with FC Barcelona in there very strong at this moment.
Stay tuned!
