Simeone’s position could be key to Carrasco’s future

future of Yannick Carrasco within Atletico Madrid It’s still up in the air, and promises to be discussed in the coming weeks until a final decision is made. The Belgian is one of the footballers who on Sunday, against Real societywas able to play his last home game at the Metropolitano although not as well as the boys Reguilón or Dohertyit cannot be proved that there is nothing more.

because Uncertainty surrounds the extreme situationwith a contract until 2024 with the rojiblanco club, but in talks for its renewal stopped, after the player understood that from the noble zone the promises made after the 20/21 League won by Atlético were not fulfilled.

That caused anger Carrasco and his environment, to the point where he seriously considers the option of leaving the mattress entity in the winter market, when the Barcelona knock on his door to be part of the operation that led to Memphis DePay in the capital of Spain.

Then, Atlético, who even saw qualifying for the Champions League as complicated, flatly refused to open the exit door for him, also considering the position of Diego Simeonewho doesn’t want to lose a key football player in his mid-season plans.

What Barcelona achieved was to get a preferential purchase option for the Belgian for 19 million euros for the coming summer. In other words, if they pay that amount from the Camp Nou, Carrasco will be on the airlift to Barcelona. But it remains to be seen that this happens, as Barcelona have already shown a desire to lower that amount.

And as it happened in January, Cholo’s position could be decisive to resolve this matter. Because the Argentine coach wants the footballer to continue wearing the rojiblanco next year, although it means learning about his student’s contractual situation, that if he continues and does not renew, he will be free next year.

A ‘SPECIAL’ FOOTBALL PLAYER

Simeone considers that the Belgian will not be easy to replace because of his qualitiesbecause it is like a glove in the system used by the coach, with two long lanes, valuing his travel, his imbalance in attack and his ability to help the defense.

At the moment, all scenarios are open regarding the future of Carrasco. As it is assumed that he has many options to leave Atlético de Madrid, it is not excluded that he will continue with the mattress team next season. Time will tell what will happen to the ‘red devil’.
