On 27 August 2019, Carrasco returned to his first team Extremadura, being assigned to the B-side still in division four.[6] He made his first team debut on 28 June of the following year, coming on as a late substitute for José Pardo in a 1–1 away draw against CF Fuenlabrada in the Segunda División.[7]

Carrasco scored his first professional goal on 17 July 2020, netting the opener in a 2–0 home success over Sporting de Gijón.[8] On 25 August, he signed for Cádiz CF, newly promoted to La Liga,[9] and was assigned to the B-team in division three.
