Atlético Madrid’s Yannick Carrasco has been linked with a move to Chelsea over the past few days.
Spanish newspaper AS reported Atletico want to offer him a new contract, with an increased release clause, with his current one standing at €40m, and that Chelsea are well aware of this, but that won’t stop them.
He quoted by Spanish newspaper Sport as saying “I have a contract until 2020 and will hopefully stay for longer.”
Carrasco also said he’s been received very well at the club, and is hoping for that to continue. He added: “I’m very, very pleased to come to the store and see these people who are here to support us.
“I have been received very well at the club , the fans sing my name and I hope it stays that way.”
It does seem the Belgian international is quite happy at Atletico at the moment, awhich would make a potential transfer pretty difficult for Chelsea.
