Atletico Madrid are also keen to sell Carrasco, who only has one year left on his current in the Spanish capital. However, Diego Simeone wants the retain the Belgian international, as he is in his plans for the new season.
Carrasco has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in the last few days, so it could be that he ends up there by the end of the summer. Barcelona are very unlikely to make a move due to financial concerns.
