Al Shabab to bid for Atletico Madrid attacker Yannick Carrasco

Atletico Madrid attacker Yannick Carrasco is on the agenda of Saudi Pro League powerbrokers.

Foot Mercato says Al Shabab are ready to make a major offer for the Belgium wing-back.

In the coming hours it will be formalised, after having already obtained the ok from Carrasco for the move.

Carrasco was expecting to join Barcelona this summer as part of Memphis Depay's move to Atletico last season. However, the Catalans decided against pursuing the option.

Instead, Al Shabab could be the next destination for the attacker.
