Barcelona have secured a purchase option for Atletico Madrid attacker Yannick Carrasco.

The Belgium international had hoped to join Barca this month, with the Catalans attempting to take the midfielder on-loan.

Atletico refused to do business, but the two clubs have settled on a 20m purchase option for June.

Sport says should Barca wish, they will be clear to sign Carrasco for the set price at the end of the season.

The negotiations were held in parallel to talks over Memphis Depay's imminent sale to Atletico.
