Barcelona eye up shock move for Atletico winger

 

Barcelona are pondering a surprise move for Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco, according to Cadena SER, via Marca.

 

Carrasco, 22, was eased into the first-team by Diego Simeone last season following his €20m (£17.1m) move from Monaco last summer.

 

The Belgium international impressed at Euro 2016 and Barcelona are now reportedly weighing up a move for the pacey wideman as they look to add to the arrivals of Samuel Umtiti and Denis Suarez.

 

However, Atletico will put up resistance to any Barcelona move and will demand his full €40m (£34.2m) release clause is met.
