Yannick Ferreira Carrasco

Atleti announced the signing of Depay on Friday on a two-and-a-half-year deal after Diego Simeone's side agreed to pay Barca €3million up front with a possible €1m in add-ons.

LaLiga leaders Barca included a non-compulsory purchase option for Atletico winger Carrasco, who is in his seventh season as an Atleti player, either side of a short stint in China.

Reports from Spain suggest Barcelona will have to hand over €20m should they wish to sign the 29-year-old Belgium international.

Carrasco has played in 23 of Atletico's 26 games this season, 15 of those starts, and has the fifth-most goal involvements with five – four goals of his own and one assist.

Atleti have already allowed Joao Felix to join Chelsea on loan for the rest of the season during the January transfer window, while Matheus Cunha made the switch to Wolves.

The Belgium winger left Atleti for the Chinese Super League in February 2018 but returned on an initial loan deal in January.

It was confirmed on Tuesday Atleti have now made Carrasco's signing permanent, with the 27-year-old penning a four-year deal at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Since linking back up with Diego Simeone's side, Carrasco scored once and provided four assists in 16 matches as Atleti secured Champions League football via a third-place finish in LaLiga.

During his first spell, Carrasco scored 23 times and added 17 assists in 124 games, while he has also netted six times in 41 appearances for his country.

Atleti are scheduled to face Granada in their 2020-21 season opener at the end of September.
