Carrasco has appeared in 35 games for Atletico Madrid this season, scoring six goals and providing three assists.
The winger appeared eager to join Barcelona during the winter transfer window. But sadly the Rojiblancos were unwilling to allow him to leave. Barça intends to exercise the purchase option on Carrasco, but financial difficulties are a stumbling block.

Barcelona wants to sign Yannick Carrasco

According to a new speculation, FC Barcelona is seeking to shake up the attack next season because the team believes there aren’t enough quality in the attack. Three additional players are targeted – two wingers and a centre-forward.

For the summer, Barcelona has obtained a purchase option for one of the Rojiblancos’ talents, Yannick Carrasco. Barcelona negotiated with Atlético Madrid for Yannick Carrasco during the previous transfer window. But Rojiblancos didn’t agree for his exit . He is expected to sign during the next transfer window. He’ll be 30 next season. However the Belgian is known for his abilities in both offence and defense, having played as a wingback at times.
According to Mundo Deportivo’s Gabriel Sans, all reports on the Belgian winger that Barcelona has received have been positive. The operation has been granted the ‘OK’ by the club’s technical department.

According to the source, the La Liga leaders regard the deal as a success, especially given that the transfer fee agreed upon by the two teams is less than €20 million. However, no contact has been made between the two teams over the deal, and Atletico Madrid is also unwilling to negotiate a new price.

Ez Abde could relieve barca

Abde Ezzalzouli, popularly known as Ez Abde, is a loan player who will be returning. The 21-year-old Moroccan has been impressing at Osasuna, and Barcelona are keen to give him an opportunity at his parent club.

Aubameyang may join barca again

Finally, after selling Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Memphis Depay, the team is looking for a backup striker. Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres have proved disappointing in the job, and the Catalan club would love to sign Athletico Paranaense’s Vitor Roque. Roque, regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Brazil, would not be cheap. He may be above budget due to the club’s financial difficulties. The low-cost backup plan is simply re-sign Aubameyang. He hasn’t found a place at Chelsea and may come for free.

In terms of players departing, Barcelona is looking to earn a good price for either Ansu or Ferran Torres. Raphinha is another player who has been a starter this season but could yet be moved for the appropriate price.
