Carrasquilla has been tipped to go on and win the Gold Cup MVP award, regardless of the final result, and as per reports from Diario AS, Rayo Vallecano are leading the race to sign him.
Local rivals Getafe are also tracking Carrasquilla but Houston Dynamo’s €5.5m asking price is far higher than Rayo’s current €2m offer.
Carrasquilla is rumoured to be open to a move to Europe, but he has options on the table, with Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion also tracking him.
