Now represented by Pini Zahavi, Yannick Carrasco has received interest in this very end of the transfer window. And the 28-year-old is not closing the door on leaving Madrid.
Having left for Dalian Yifang in China in February 2018 against a check for around €30 million, the Belgian international had left Atlético after three years of good and loyal service (between 2015 and 2018, editor’s note). But he was recalled by the Colchoneros. An astonishing choice at the time for the press since in addition to doubts about his level after a year and a half in China, his relationship with Diego Simeone was not in good shape when he left.
Arrived in the form of a loan in January 2020, the former Monegasque has established himself as an essential element in the game put in place by the Argentine coach. Satisfied with his performance, Diego Simeone did not fail to highlight his efforts on several occasions. “He has done a good job since he came back to the club. It was a huge effort he had to make to come back, and he did. We see the result. He has become the Carrasco we knew, vertical, determining towards the opposing goal.
Discussions with English clubs!
But will the Belgian international still be there to tumble down the left flank of the Wanda Metropolitano next season? Nothing is less sure. Indeed, according to our information, the former AS Monaco is now under the leadership of Pini Zahavi, who needs no introduction. And several clubs, in England in particular, are very interested in his services. This is the case of Tottenham and Newcastle who have taken steps at the end of the transfer window. The English clubs were even ready to lift his release clause of 60 million euros!
The principal concerned is open to a departure, but will not sign anywhere. In the event that this transfer cannot be completed by tonight, the Belgian could leave the Spanish club next summer. Also according to our information, there are already discussions with other clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United or Barcelona with a view to a summer move. Anyway, we can say that the formation of Daniel Levy will animate this money time of the transfer window, since Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur are also expected on the side of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium …
