Barcelona Transfer News: Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco Targeted, Latest Rumours

Barcelona are reportedly eyeing Atletico Madrid's Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco as another potential attacking target to bolster their forward line.

According to Cadena SER (via Sport), Blaugrana manager Luis Enrique "is a particular admirer" of the 22-year-old Belgium international, who could potentially cost up to €40 million (£34.2 million).

The report added that Carrasco only moved to Atleti from Monaco last season for €17 million (£14.6 million), and the French outfit are entitled to 25 per cent of any sell-on fee while he is contracted at the Vicente Calderon until 2020.

Barcelona are currently searching for a player who can provide cover for their first-choice front three of Neymar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, and Atleti players have been high on their list of targets with Luciano Vietto and Angel Correa also linked to the La Liga champions, per the Mirror's Ed Malyon:
