# Newcastle: Magpies could sign Yannick Carrasco in January

**[Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) could be interested in signing Atletico Madrid midfielder Yannick Carrasco in the January transfer window, according to a new report.**

### The Lowdown: Carrasco brilliant for Atletico

The 29-year-old has been a key part of Atletico’s success under Diego Simeone over the years, making [236 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yannick-carrasco/alletore/spieler/140776) in total for the [La Liga](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/la-liga-news/) giants.

Carrasco’s versatility, energy and quality have always made him an effective performer and he even scored in the 2016 Champions League final against Real Madrid.

With Newcastle looking to make high-profile signings, it looks as though the Belgian could be an option.

### The Latest: Newcastle could make move

According to [*Mundo Deportivo*](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/) \[via [*Sport Witness*](https://sportwitness.co.uk/player-gone-newcastle-january-now-sale-pl-still-interested/)\], Carrasco ‘could have gone’ to Newcastle during the summer but a move failed to materialise.

Now, unnamed Premier League clubs are ‘still very interested’ in signing him, suggesting the Magpies could be in the mix.

The midfielder has tasted [La Liga and Europa League glory](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yannick-carrasco/erfolge/spieler/140776) with Atletico, while [59 caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yannick-carrasco/profil/spieler/140776) during a golden generation for Belgium also highlights his ability.

Carrasco would bring with him a winning mentality that could improve those around and he is at an age where he should still be at his best for two or three years.
