Juventus contact Atlético Madrid for Carrasco

London, Jan 29: Juventus are weighing up their possibility to land Atletico Madrid star winger Yannick Carrasco who could be set to leave the club this window, with the 24-year-old struggling for game time at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The star winger has been behind the pecking order in Diego Simeone's team this season and despite appearing 25 times this season, the player has only completed three matches so far, contributing four goals and five assists.

But with World Cup knocking at the door, the player is reportedly looking elsewhere for more game time to secure his inclusion in the Belgium squad.

The player was earlier linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in the January transfer window but with Arsenal secured the signing of Mkhitaryan and on the verge of confirming Dortmund attacker Aubameyang, it looks like now only Juventus are in the race for the 24-year-old.

Juventus have recently lost versatile attacker Juan Cuadrado with an injury. At first, it was thought that the Colombian's injury was negligible but now it has appeared that the player might have to go under the knife which will rule him out for some months.

And seeing the situation, the defending Champions have apparently ready to test the resolve of Atletico for Carrasco who reportedly has a € 100 million release clause.

Although Juventus are not ready to pay that amount, however, could make a very convincing offer to prise him away which is reportedly €60 million.

Apart from Carrasco, Juventus are also looking for an alternative option with Sassuolo attacker Matteto Politano, however, the player is mostly now on the verge of joining Napoli in this window in the upcoming weeks.
