"Negotiations are going well," the Belgium international said, according to Spanish newspaper Sport.
"I am aware that I am an important player for the team but I hope they let me leave. From a personal and family point of view, I would like to return to Europe," he added.
Carrasco shot to prominence with Atletico Madrid before sealing a shock move to China a year-and-half ago.
Meanwhile, despite the possibility of landing their first signing, Arsenal still face a strained transfer budget, with just £40 million available to spend this summer.
