Carrasco is doing the impossible for Atleti to transfer him to Barça

Atlético de Madrid has entered 2023 with several important changes to its line of attack. The rojiblanco team released Cunha with a purchase obligation from Wolves, and Joao Félix on a simple loan to Chelsea until June 30. This has meant that the colchoneros need to reinforce their attack and they have thought of Memphis Depay for it.

The Dutch striker has decided to put Madrid as his priority if he ends up leaving the Camp Nou, although for this FC Barcelona asks for an amount for his transfer or the winger Yannick Carrasco in exchange. From the Metropolitan they have closed on both possibilities and they want to get the culé attacker for free or by paying an almost symbolic figure.

The good news for Barça is that ‘Sport’ points out that the Belgian footballer himself is putting pressure on Atleti to accept the Barça proposal and transfer him to Xavi’s team as soon as possible. In fact, the journalist Gerard Romero already explained that the contacts between Barça and the player began during the World Cup in Qatar and their conditions are almost agreed upon in the event that they give the green light to the operation.

Does everyone win?

The reality is that Memphis counts very little for Xavi and mainly for this reason he is willing to leave the club right now despite the fact that his contract ends in the summer. The player is valuing Atlético over other options and has even already advanced, through his agent, a contract for two and a half seasons if everything comes to fruition.

About Carrasco, the information indicates that the player is excited about the possibility of dressing as a blaugrana, understanding that it may be his last option. The operation is being carried out by Pini Zahavi, also a representative of Lewandowski, and The Belgian international will wait until January 31 if necessary to be able to reach the Camp Nou and try to win ownership in a left wing that right now has no owner.
