Atletico Madrid and Real Betis are both interested in Lazio centre-back Luiz Felipe Ramos, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.

The 24-year-old Brazilian is only under contract until June 2022 and joined the club for just €750,000 in 2016.

He made only 18 competitive appearances for the Aquile this season, suffering from a long-term ankle injury that also required surgery.

It also remains to be seen how he will adapt to new coach Maurizio Sarri’s tactics using a four-man defence, accustomed to Simone Inzaghi’s 3-5-2 formation.

Marca claim that Betis are currently the most intent on making a bid for Luiz Felipe, having lost their centre-back Aissa Mandi to Villarreal.

The asking price would be in the region of €20m.
