Yannick Ferreira Carrasco 'happy' at Atletico Madrid

Amid reports of interest from Chelsea and Barcelona, Atletico Madrid attacker Yannick Ferreira Carrasco reveals his happiness at the Vicente Calderon.

Yannick Ferreira Carrasco has insisted that he is 'happy' at Atletico Madrid amid suggestions that Barcelona and Chelsea are both interested in his services.

The Belgian international joined Atletico from AS Monaco in the summer of 2015 and scored five times in 43 appearances for the capital club during his first season at the Vicente Calderon.

Carrasco is yet to score in La Liga this season, but he did net the winner in Atletico's 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League towards the end of last month.

Chelsea and Barcelona have both been credited with an interest in the forward, but Carrasco, who will reportedly be offered a new contract at the Vicente Calderon, has played down speculation of a move.

"I will be here until 2020 and I wish I could be here [even] longer. I am good here at Atleti," Carrasco told reporters.

It is understood that the attacker has a £34m buy-out clause inserted into his current deal.
