Permanent return confirmed: Atlético sign Carrasco from Dalian Professional
After Spanish media recently assumed that the loan would be renewed, Atlético Madrid can now even make long-term plans with Yannick Carrasco. As the Rojiblancos officially announced on Tuesday, the 27-year-old winger has been signed on a permanent deal from Dalian Professional. He put pen to paper on a four-year contract with the Spanish club.
Carrasco left Atlético for China for €10.5 million at the beginning of 2018, but returned to his former club just two years later, initially on a six-month loan deal. Especially after the restart, Carrasco was one of Diego Simeone’s regular starters, scored a goal and assisted another four. Carrasco was also on the pitch for 90 minutes in the Champions League quarter-final defeat to RB Leipzig. The Belgian was originally under contract with Dalian until 2022.
