Filipe Luis to return to Brazil with Flamengo LaLiga Will say goodbye to Atletico on Sunday

After two months of long negotiations, Filipe Luis has finally reached an agreement to join Flamengo this summer.

The left-back, who was a free agent after leaving Atletico Madrid at the end of last season, will sign a two-year deal with the Brazilian side.

Filipe Luis has spent the past month with the Brazilian national team as they won the Copa America on home soil.

"I've been a Flamenguista since I was young," Filipe Luis said.

"It's the most complicated decision of my life," he said about his next steps after leaving Los Rojiblancos.

The 33-year-old had intended to stay at Atletico, but the club didn't offer him a new contract.

He will say goodbye to his teammates on Sunday before holding a press conference to announce his departure.

The veteran is expected in Rio de Janeiro on Monday to complete his move to his boyhood club.
