Barcelona have announced that Tuesday is the deadline for the transfer of Filipe from Deportivo La Coruna to be completed.
Barca have been chasing Filipe for some time, but Depor president Augusto Lendoiro's insistence on demanding a €20 million fee for the defender has complicated negotiations. According to Sport, the Blaugrana are unwilling to pay such a sum, and have set Tuesday as the deadline for any deal to be done.
The Catalan club still believe their offer of €8 million to be more than sufficient, and they are not prepared to negotiate any further. Given that Filipe has openly stressed his desire to move to the Camp Nou, the ball is now in Deportivo's court, as they decide whether or not to accept the deal.
Filipe has made 90 league appearances during his time at the Riazor, scoring three goals.
