Deportivo Want Miguel Torres To Replace Filipe
Real Madrid may start their clear-out by letting another youth team product slip out of the back door
Deportivo de La Coruna are lining up a bid for Miguel Torres from Real Madrid and if they are successful then Filipe Luis will be able to join Barcelona, according to a report.
The Galician outfit have pinpointed the Spain Under-21 left-back as they player they believe could fit into their squad to replace the Camp Nou-bound Brazilian.
Barça are keen to tie up a deal for Filipe this week to provide competition for Eric Abidal, but Depor have held firm in their valuation as they have had no substitute.
But now Miguel Torres could be set to move to Riazor as he realises that his chances of obtaining a regular place in Manuel Pellegrini's team at the Bernabeu are slim, AS state.
The 23-year-old rose through the ranks at Madrid and has played for the C and B teams before making 52 appearances for the first team squad under various coaches.
Having challenged Roberto Carlos for a place on the left of Los Merengues' defence in his early years, Torres has struggled to oust Gabriel Heinze more recently.
Now Madrid have been linked with Inter's Maicon in a clear indication that Torres' talent is set to be over-looked again and Deportivo could be the challenge he wants.
