Last week, AS reported Newcastle United are ‘on the prowl’ for Yannick Carrasco and would have no problem paying his €60m release clause.
Marca, in their Monday edition, also discuss Magpies interest in the Atlético Madrid player.
Newcastle already made an approach for the 28-year-old in the January window. A deal didn’t take place then because he wasn’t in favour of leaving the La Liga side midway through the season.
The Belgium international is one of ‘untouchables’ for Diego Simeone and he is essential in the manager’s plans for next season due to his profile, versatility and ability to recover from poor form.
The Spanish side are aware of this, which is why the winger’s name hovers through the 
offices of the Metropolitano.
Newcastle United interest in the player is highlighted by the newspaper. It’s claimed Eddie Howe’s side wanting Carrasco could ‘complicate’ Simeone’s plan to retain him.
Having already made an approach to sign him in January, Zahavi could use Newcastle’s interest to put pressure on Atlético to help the Belgian land an improved deal.
