Any deal will depend on Atletico making several sales first. The club's coach, Diego Simeone, is enthusiastic about the prospect of having Carrasco on board, reportedly meeting with the general manager to push the negotiations forward.

Carrasco previously left Atletico in 2018 for Dalian Pro in China, but surprised everyone by returning in January 2020. He has made 266 appearances and scored 47 goals for the club, making him one of the most iconic players in recent history.
