Carrasco can continue at Atlético next season. The Belgian is having a good season in the rojiblanco team and there is no final decision about his future. There is only one thing certain: Carrasco is at the level that everyone wants, the one that Simeone was looking for from the beginning of the campaign. He has cost, but the Carrasco that everyone wanted appeared. Atlético knows that Barcelona has a preferential right over the player and He will have to pay close to 19 million if he wants to take over the services of the now rojiblanco footballer. Atlético does not contemplate any possibility of including players like Ferran Torres. The intention of the Barça club to include the Spaniard will not be carried out, since he is not a player that interests the Atlético sports management. If Carrasco leaves, it will be for the stipulated financial amount.
But nobody will put any but if the Belgian continues one more campaign in the Cívitas Metropolitan entity. Carrasco’s contract ends in 2024 and the ideal for the Madrid club is that he can get money for him before the end of his contract. Nor will Atlético go crazy when it comes to a possible renewal of the Belgian international. Atlético’s economy is not for great expenditures and Carrasco knows it. He can leave if Barcelona wants him. It could also go out to the Premier, where it has a great poster. And also stay.
Carrasco has played 40 official competition matches (31 in LaLiga, three in the Cup and six in the Champions League). He has scored eight goals: five in the league championship, two in the Cup and one in European competition. And he has given five assists, three in LaLiga and two in the Champions League. They are not spectacular numbers, but he has helped Atlético to finish the season as second. He is the third goalscorer for the Madrid team. Morata has scored 15 goals, counting all competitions; Griezmann has scored fourteen and behind them is Carrasco. Correa has scored seven goals.
