Yannick Ferreira Carrasco is about to make a new return to Atlético de Madrid according to AS. At 31, the Belgian could find the Reds and White two years after joining Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia. A transfer which will only become possible on the condition of a departure within the workforce of Diego Simeone, Nahuel Molina being in particular in the viewfinder of Nottingham Forest. If Atlético has officially declared its closed transfer window after having already spent 175 million euros this summer, behind the scenes, the Madrid club is actively working on this operation. Enthusiastic about the idea of recovering a player he has always appreciated, Diego Simeone would even have met the director general Carlos Bucero to accelerate the file still.
Carrasco knows this situation well: in 2018, he had left Atlético for Dalian Pro in China before returning, to everyone's surprise, in January 2020. With 266 games played in the Colchonero jersey (47 goals), he is among the outstanding players in club history. Despite Simeone's attempts to compensate for his departure with Samuel Lino or Rodrigo Riquelme, none really managed to make the Belgian dribbler forget. The love story between the old Monegasque and El Cholo may therefore not be completely finished.
