Announced close to a return to Atlético de Madrid in the Spanish press, Yannick Carrasco will not return. Indeed, Atlético de Madrid firmly denied any interest for Yannick Carrasco and insisted on the fact that the list of recruits for this summer is indeed finalized. “Neither Yannick nor his agent contacted us to offer their services”said the club, reacting to rumors circulating on social networks. On Wednesday, the atmosphere at Metropolitano oscillated between astonishment and indignation, confirming that the Belgian was never in the crosshairs of the leaders.
Club officials also recalled that recruitment during the summer has followed a clear rejuvenation policy, with six of the seven recruits aged 23 to 24, Hancko being the only exception at 27 years. Integrating Carrasco would therefore have no sense in this strategy. The subject is therefore closed.
