Barcelona to go for Carrasco if Ferran Torres leaves

Yannick Ferreira Carrasco's move to Barca seemed to be a done deal in the winter transfer window after the arrival of Memphis at Atletico, in which the Catalan giants kept an option to buy the Belgian for 16 million euros. However, the operation is currently at a standstill.

According to 'Mundo Deportivo', the 'Cule' team will not invest in the 'Colchoneros' striker until they manage to transfer Ferran Torres. The Catalan club are looking for a way out of the Valencian in exchange for 40 million euros.

In addition, Ansu Fati's possible departure could also trigger Carrasco's arrival in Barcelona. As of today, the Belgian winger is not a priority and they will only make a move for him if some circumstances are met.

The Belgium international is under contract with Atletico until June 2024 and has a termination clause of 60 million, but Barca could sign him for 16. Moreover, the Catalan giants have had the player's agreement for months.

For the moment, the operation has not been completely ruled out, as he is a player that Xavi Hernandez likes very much. However, the Catalan club are aware of their financial situation and that the priority in this market is to reinforce other positions.
