Milan chooses a substitute in case Madrid signs Rafa Leão: Carrasco

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.

the Belgian, whose agent for a few months is Pini Zahavi (the same as Lewandowski and Nkunku), has a contract until 2024is well valued sportingly within the club and Simeone has him, so he has let him know. Carrasco is also comfortable at Atlético and he feels relevant, although he is no stranger to the suitors who approach him, and who have been testing him for months. In the last days of the winter market, Newcastle asked for him to take him along with Trippier. Atleti was clear that he would not open the door for him.

in sports, Carrasco suffered a setback with the red against Porto that left him out of the matches against Manchester United (round trip) and Manchester City, an occasion that Lodi took advantage of to compete with him and even take over the site. However, in the eyes of Cholo, Carrasco is still holder in this Atlético and also for the 22-23.

Milan, meanwhile, awaits events because they know they have one of the jewels of European football. Rafa Leão, at 22 years old, has been chosen as the best player in Serie A, from which champion has emerged. His termination clause is 150 million, but given the rumors that even link him to Real Madrid, the club Red-black a new contract is proposed to shield its star. Nevertheless, if the footballer ended up leaving, Milan would go on the market with enormous economic strengthenough to sign Carrasco and another star.

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…
