Carrasco, another year

Carrasco was the signing of Atlético's winter market. The Belgian winger ended up in the Madrid team to start a second stage in the team where he showed his class by the way in his first adventure in the Madrid team. During the two and a half seasons that he was at Atlético, he showed that he is a player with a great class, different, but also intermittent. He went to Chinese football and Atlético strengthened their squad in January with this footballer who, at the age of 26, wants to engage in high-level football again.

Atlético offered him that option and Carrasco did not even think about it. He came to Madrid almost with his eyes closed, but the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has barely allowed him to play. in the whole of Simeone. Carrasco played five league games (Real Madrid, Granada, Valencia, Espanyol and Seville), with a total of 155 minutes of competition. Cholo knows he can get a lot out of it and he is there. She is even rehearsing with him as a starter to play against Athletic.

Carrasco ends his loan when this 2019-20 season ends. And the intention of Atlético's sports management is to continue counting on its services for the next year. The market will not be for large expenditures and Atlético has already set to work to try to count on Carrasco for another year. Thus, Berta has already spoken to know her concerns for a few months. The sports director has met Carrasco's resounding yes to follow a new course in rojiblanco.

The winger belongs to the Chinese Dalian Yifang and Atlético will have to dialogue with this club to extend its assignment for another year. In principle, all parties should reach an agreement, although it will be necessary to see what happens with the Chinese entity. Carrasco is delighted in Madrid and his great aspiration now is to convince Simeone that he can fully trust him. His speed, his dribble and his goals can be very useful for the Cholo team. At the moment, it is one more option to strengthen an attack in which players such as Lemar or Vitolo are also present.
