Atlético de Madrid stands by Carrasco: Barça must pay his clause

The FC Barcelona already knows the price that has to pay to the Athletic of Madrid by Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco. As it advances 'SPORT', the group 'rojiblanco' does not have intentions to facilitate the exit of the Belgian and, as sucedió in winter, the only form in which the Barça will be able to fichar to the extreme is crediting his clásula of rescission (18 million euros), something that the managerial culé is treating to avoid at all costs.

The one of Ixelles has the 'OK' of the technical body to land in Catalonia this summer, but the problems of the club with the Fair Play financial of LaLiga complicate the operation. Thus, the Barça already tried, without success, do a barter by the Belgian including to Mmephis Depay, the one who finish fichando by the 'colchoneros' in return of 3 'kilos'. Carrasco Has agreement until 2024 and keeps on being to title for Diego Simeone, in spite of his wish to go out.

Carrasco Can desatar a 'serial' in Manzanares

The international Belgian already had manifested in January his wish to leave to the Barça, something that cost him see few minutes in the two first months of 2023. Ferreira-Carrasco had a marked bajón in his performance between January and February (did not mark neither assisted), but of March from now on has recovered the confidence and in this moment is one of the main managers (beside Antoine Griezmann) of the promotion of the Athletic to the second place of LaLiga.

Nevertheless, in summer could deteriorate again the relation of Yannick with the managerial 'rojiblanca' if the club denies to leave him go out. The Barcelona prioritises a barter by Sergiño Dest, knowing the urgency of the 'Cholo' by fichar a right side, but the only players culés that interest to the 'colchoneros are Ferran Torres and Ez Abde, by those who Joan Laporta expects to add a few 'kilos' in summer.

The Barça prioritises to close his traspaso in June

In front of the imminent goodbye of Mateu Alemany to the sportive direction culé, the priority of the Barça is to close the traspaso of Ferreira-Carrasco before 30 June. The good relation between the áun director of Barcelona football and Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, general director 'colchonero', can be keys to resolve the operation when finalising the season, without that the player or his agent, Pini Zahavi, see forced to presionar to the 'Aleti' to leave him go.

By his part, in the Metropolitan take the things calmly. A cession is not viable and, in front of the possibility to have other offers of the foreigner, the club knows that there is not need of apurar at all. The important for the Athletic is to sell him, minimum, by 18 'kilos' or, in his defect, renew him, something that Yannick does not see feasible in this moment. The Belgian great 8 so many and 5 assistances in 40 parties this season and is valued in 25 million euros in Transfermarkt.
