Yannick Carrasco is one of Atlético’s most sought-after footballers. The 28-year-old Belgian has been one of the best rojiblancos of the season and, with the transfer market making his first moves, he is a very attractive piece. His termination clause is 60 million and Milan, as AS has learned, has it on its agenda if Rafael Leão leaves, on Real Madrid’s agenda. With him entered by the Portuguese, he could launch himself for the Atleti player.

Newcastle is still on the prowl
In parallel to Milan, the Premier does not forget the rojiblanco. In January it was complicated and it was an emergency market for Newcastle, but now he can improve his sporting project more calmly. In this case, they don’t even need to make a sale to be able to put on the table the 60 million that facilitate Carrasco’s departure. The Belgian, since his return in 2020 from two years in China, has been essential for Atlético and everyone counts on it, despite the fact that it is a very appetizing candy for the greats of the continent…
