Barcelona's plan to land Carrasco

Barcelona cannot imagine a 2023-24 season without Yannick Carrasco. Xavi Hernandez has given the go-ahead for the operation and Barcelona are already thinking of a plan to make the deal as cheap as possible.

'Mundo Deportivo' reported on Monday that Joan Laporta wants to do the same as with Antoine Griezmann. That is to say, renegotiate the option to buy the Belgian winger, which is already agreed at 15 million euros.

Atletico Madrid were willing to execute the 40 million euros agreed in 2021-22. However, Enrique Cerezo managed to reduce the amount to 20 million euros plus four in variables.

Barcelona want to reduce that amount due to the need to reduce the 'Financial Fair Play'. Yannick Carrasco wants to play at Camp Nou and his contract expires in June 2024, so the financial demands could be reduced.

In fact, 'Relevo' revealed last Thursday that the Catalan giants' board will offer a maximum of nine to ten million euros to force the player's exit.

Yannick Carrasco has played 33 games this season, scoring six goals and providing one assist.
