Atletico keen to tie down Carrasco amid Chelsea interest
Yannick Carrasco's excellent form for both Atletico Madrid and Belgium has seen Chelsea register an interest, according to the Mirror. The 23-year-old winger has a £35 million buyout clause in his current deal, which runs to 2020, but Los Colchoneros see it as too low and are agitating toward a new deal to protect their star player.
Carrasco is thought to be content with life in the Spanish capital, but the Blues are believed to be confident about luring him to London. They are exploring their options to provide Antonio Conte with new weapons in the market as the Italian overhauls his team.
Man United target 'the new David Silva'
Manchester United are monitoring one of the most outstanding young talents in Spanish football, with the Mail linking the Red Devils with a move for Fran Villalba. The Valencia starlet has been likened to David Silva and reportedly has a £3.6 million buyout clause.
The 18-year-old is also being tracked by Barcelona and was the subject of a failed bid from Liverpool back in 2014. He could now follow the route of Silva and continue his development in the Premier League.
