The Mirror linked him with a £35 million transfer to Chelsea this week but Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco has quickly poured cold water on any exit talk, report the Daily Star.
Having impressed at Vicente Calderon since signing from Monaco in 2015, Carrasco is blossoming under Diego Simeone’s lead and isn’t interested in any move away from the Spanish capital.
In no uncertain terms, the Belgian international recently claimed: “I will be here until 2020 and I wish I could be here [even] longer. I am good here at Atleti.”
Despite not being a regular goalscorer at Atleti with the 23-year-old having only registered four strikes in 36 La Liga appearances so far, Carrasco has acted as the perfect foil for prolific frontman Antoine Griezmann.
As for Chelsea’s own wingers right now, Eden Hazard has shown signs he’s on the way back to his best form while Pedro is likely to stand in for Willian for tomorrow’s Premier League game against Leicester City.
The Brazilian international is currently away on extended leave due to a family bereavement.
