Carrasco and his history with Atlético de Madrid

It would not be the first time that Yannick Carrasco wears the red and white. The Belgian winger played for the Madrid club between 2015 and 2018 after arriving from Monaco, and then returned in 2020 after a spell in China. In total, he played 266 matches, scoring 47 goals, and providing 45 assists, numbers that reflect his importance in Diego Simeone's scheme.

His departure in 2023 to Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia seemed final, but now the possibility of a third cycle gains strength due to the team's offensive needs.

Simeone needs a dribbling winger

The start of the season for Atlético de Madrid has been disappointing: a loss to Espanyol (2-1) and a draw against Elche (1-1), garnering only one point out of six in LaLiga. The investment in signings like Álex Baena, Thiago Almada, Giacomo Raspadori, and Julián Álvarez has not yet translated into victories, and Simeone is keen on reinforcing the attack with a player capable of creating danger down the wings.

Argentine coach's priority was Nico González from Juventus, but difficulties in that negotiation have opened the door to Yannick Ferreira Carrasco, who is well-versed in Cholo's tactical mechanisms.

Carrasco's motivation: returning to Europe

The Belgian winger is under contract with Al-Shabab until 2027, but his desire is to return to a European club to stay competitive for the upcoming World Cup. “He wants to return to a top-level league, and LaLiga is a natural option for him,” say sources close to the player.

His versatility, dribbling ability, and international experience make him a real alternative for Atlético, which urgently needs to regain confidence in the attacking front.

A meaningful signing for Atlético

The addition of Carrasco would mean adding experience and unpredictability to a squad in full reconstruction. Despite the summer reinforcements, the team has shown difficulties in creating clear chances: just 2.3 expected goals (xG) in their first two matches, figures well below the aspirations of a title contender.

The Belgian has become an intriguing option to address one of Atlético's main problems, the only question remains whether he is at the required level to be a game-changer in European football once again.
