Jorge Carrascal

Jorge Carrascal is a midfielder in Colombia's final 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, named by Néstor Lorenzo in the list announced on 25 May 2026. The Flamengo midfielder is 28 at kick-off and goes to the finals with 22 caps and two international goals for Colombia, an attacking midfielder used as a playmaker in the number-10 role for Colombia.

Colombia booked their place by finishing third in CONMEBOL qualifying and are drawn in Group K, where they open against Uzbekistan. Carrascal is listed among the midfielders in Néstor Lorenzo's 26, a player for the advanced central areas the manager can call on in a 4-3-3. James Rodríguez is the Colombia captain, wearing the armband for the side.

Carrascal is an attacking midfielder, used as a playmaker and a creative alternative in the number-10 role. For Flamengo and Colombia he plays between the lines, looking to link the play and supply the forwards ahead of him.

At 28, that number-10 profile is his game: a creative midfielder rather than a holder or a runner from deep. He is named among Colombia's midfielders in Néstor Lorenzo's squad for the 2026 World Cup, an option for the advanced central role.

In Goal Rush terms, Carrascal is Colombia's number-10 option, an attacking midfielder used as a playmaker and a creative alternative in that role. Tier 3 and £17m is where Colombia land, an amount set within the game's £200m card budget as Group K waits.

For a mid-tier valuation, his contribution to the attack is that creative number-10 role, linking the play in the advanced areas of midfield for Colombia.
