Atletico confirms Carrasco, Gaitan departures to China

Atletico Madrid has sold Belgian winger Yannick Carrasco and Argentine midfielder Nicolas Gaitan to Chinese club Dalian Yifang, the Spanish club confirmed on Monday.

Carrasco had started just three times in La Liga since the turn of the year and Gaitan only once this entire season under coach Diego Simeone. “Our club has reached an agreement with the Chinese club Dalian Yifang for the transfer of Yannick Carrasco,” Atletico wrote in a statement on Monday. A separate statement read: “Nico Gaitan has been sold to Dalian Yifang, from the Chinese Super League.” Atletico has not specified the fees involved but, according to the Spanish press, Carrasco’s departure will earn it around 30 million euros (US$36.9 million) and Gaitan 18 million euros. Dalian, newly-promoted to the Chinese top flight, also signed West Ham United defender Jose Fonte for an undisclosed fee last Friday.
