Barcelona and Atlético Madrid spent days negotiating a deal for the transfer of Memphis Depay to the Wanda Metropolitano, and an agreement was reached on Wednesday that will be made official at any moment. And as part of the deal, the Catalans have a chance to sign one of Atlético’s players at a discount this summer.
That’s according to multiple reports from Catalan media, including Relevo, who claim the Blaugrana have included a buy option for Atleti winger Yannick Carrasco for less than 20 million euros. Barça had asked for Carrasco to join the club on loan as Memphis’ replacement in this window but Atlético refused, however the Blaugrana still have a chance to sign the Belgium international in six months’ time if the reports are accurate.
