Carrasco, to the operating room… and goodbye to Atlético?

Yannick Carrasco He will go through the operating room today to undergo an operation on his nose with the aim of correcting some respiratory problems that have been bothering him in recent games, in the same way that occurred with Saul recently. In this way, although it is not ruled out for Sunday in Villarreal (aims to be low, not because of the importance of the surgery but to avoid blows in the area), the Belgian could have played against the Real society his last game with Atléticoas movements are expected, either from Barcelonawell from the Premierregarding your future.

Despite the fact that Carrasco is one of the most important players in the plans of Simeone, his disagreement with the club during the negotiations to extend the contract that expires in 2024 would end up leading to the footballer’s desire to end his time at Atlético already in the past winter market. Hence, from the offices of the Metropolitan moved to avoid his goodbye and agreed to sign a preferential purchase option for 19 million with Barcelona as a sign of his willingness to facilitate his goodbye this summer.

However, despite this ‘pact’ reached with his representative Beans ZahaviAtlético is not willing to ‘give away’ the footballer if from the start Camp Nou they do not exercise the purchase option, forcing in that case the clubs interested in Carrasco to present a convincing offer.

A way out, but not at any price

In this sense, the cartel that the Belgian international has in Europa It places him on the radar of the Premier, where the economic muscle is much greater than that of a Barcelona for which 19 kilos can mean a world. It is precisely there where Atlético will try to get a piece of it, because although Carrasco could leave for free if he held out for another year (as Simeone would like) and consequently it seems difficult for someone to pay the 60 million of his termination clause, in the Metropolitan they understand that , if the Belgian has to go, at least it is leaving a good amount in the battered coffers.
