Newcastle add Carrasco to their list of Atleti targets

It seems as though Newcastle are using the Wanda Metropolitano as a shopping centre. They have liked Renan Lodi for a while, but the 'Rojiblancos' have always denied his exit from the club.

However, Atletico could be waving goodbye to their player should they receive an offer of around 50 million euros for him. The Magpies are yet to bid this amount.

Lodi is not Newcastle's newest transfer target however. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', the Geordies have added Atleti's winger, Yannick Carrasco to the top of their shopping list.

The Belgian has performed well this season under Simeone's direction. He is a highly valued player of the Atleti squad and this is reflected by his 60 million euro release clause.

He is contracted at the club until 2024 and after apppearing in 44 matches this season, it is clear Simeone likes his player. Therefore, it will be a tough task to take Carrasco from Atletico's clutches this summer.
