A possible swap deal appears to be off the table with Atletico wanting the cash or nothing

The exchange between FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid involving Ferran Torres and Yannick Carrasco is complicated.

According to AS, the Rojiblancos will not accept players in exchange for the Belgian. If Barça want him, they will have to pay the €19 million agreed clause.

The reason is simple. Atletico are very satisfied with the performance of Carrasco, who has grown exponentially in recent matches and after a somewhat irregular first half of the season.

Remember that in the Memphis transfer operation, both clubs agreed a clause in which Barça would have a preferential option to take Carrasco for €19m. And in this sense, the Barça management offered first Sergiño Dest and then Torres as an exchange, as both were liked by Simeone.

Barcelona are still looking for ways to build a new squad for next season, in which Leo Messi is expected to be the main signing of the summer and Xavi also wants a pivot to replace Busquets as a priority.
