Report: Barcelona consider Yannick Ferreira Carrasco move

Barcelona are reportedly considering a summer swoop for Atletico Madrid attacker Yannick Ferreira Carrasco.

The Spanish champions are expected to sign at least one new forward this summer as they seek back-up to Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar in the final third of the field.

According to Cadena SER, Carrasco is on Barcelona's radar, despite the fact that Atletico would seemingly be reluctant to sell to a direct rival in both Spain and indeed the Champions League.

The 22-year-old joined Atletico from AS Monaco last summer and scored five times in 45 appearances during his first season in Spanish football.

Carrasco was also part of the Belgium team that lost to Wales in the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.
