Chelsea ask Atletico Madrid for Carrasco price in Diego Costa talks

Chelsea have expressed interest in Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco.

During talks over the imminent sale of Diego Costa, Chelsea have asked Atletico to name their price for Carrasco.

Blues chiefs are convinced Atletico can be tempted into parting with the Belgium international, especially after the shock swoop of Vitolo from Sevilla last week.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is a big fan of Carrasco and Don Balon says club intermediaries have already tabled his camp a massive five-year contract offer.

Carrasco is tempted, particularly with Antoine Griezmann also committing for the new season.
