Newcastle plans another blow to Atlético like Trippier’s

The Trippier thing was a hard blow for Simeone in the last winter market. Newcastle snatched from the Argentine coach one of his most precious pieces. That long winger, with good crosses, a wide range, who boosted his 5-3-2 system and Marcos Llorente to get LaLiga 21-22. In the summer, during the concentration with England during the European Championship, he already confessed to his compatriots that he wanted to leave, return to the Premier, where he had left two seasons before (Tottenham). So, United was his main suitor. But when he went to the Metropolitan to negotiate with Atlético he ran into a wall full of ‘noes’: Atlético would not let him out. He referred to his clause. 50 million. That only delayed his departure for a few months: in January, it was Newcastle, recently bought by a sheik, the one who managed to start the English side from Cerro del Espino and the Argentine slate. Something that this summer could be repeated. And with another fundamental piece.

Because now Newcastle looks to the other end, to the left, where the winger is whose men and legs there is also that League conquered by the rojiblancos in Valladolid: Yannick Carrasco. The Belgian is one of the most talented players in the red and white squad. A revitalized talent after his return from China to the Cholo team in 2020. More mature, more accomplished, a much better footballer. And with all its overflow and electricity intact. With a contract until June 2024, he is one of the rojiblancos with the most ‘girlfriends’ in this market.

A price of 50 million

If a few days ago it was the Italian press that slipped that Milan was considering his name as a substitute for Leão if he went to Real Madrid, now it is the Englishwoman who reveals that Newcastle is putting on the gloves to deal another hard blow to Atlético. He’s coming for Carrasco. But he returns to meet that red and white refusal with which he ran into last summer: no. The club chaired by Enrique Cerezo refers to its termination clause, requires at least 50 million.
