Chelsea hope to have Belgian edge on Man Utd, Man City in Carrasco battle

Chelsea are chasing Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco.

Don Balon says Chelsea are interested the 23-year-old winger as are both Manchester United and Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Juventus.

Carrasco signed a new Atletico deal in October and is under contract with the club until 2022.

He also has a £86m buyout clause in his current deal.

But Chelsea would have such funds at their disposal at the end of the season and could launch a hefty offer for the Belgium international.

Should he make the move to Chelsea this summer, he would link up with several of his international team-mates at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues currently have Belgian trio Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and Michy Batshuayi in their ranks.
