Yannick Carrasco, the Belgian forward who currently plays for Atletico Madrid, has his sights set on a future at Barcelona. Despite a failed transfer attempt in the January transfer window, Carrasco remains optimistic and is still eager to join the Catalan club.
Atletico Madrid rejected the move in January as they didn’t want to lose their attacker in the middle of the season, especially after the departures of Joao Felix and Matheus Cunha. However, Carrasco’s contract with Atletico expires in 2024 and he will be available for €15 million in the summer, making him a cost-effective option for Barcelona.

Barcelona regards Carrasco as a valuable addition to their attacking unit because he fits well with their new wage structure. Furthermore, reaching personal terms should not be a problem as the Catalan club has an excellent relationship with Carrasco’s agent Pini Zahavi, who played a vital role in their signing of Robert Lewandowski.
