Two players who played little during the season are leaving Madrid's "Atletico" - Yannick Carrasco and Nicolas Gaitan.
On the official website of "Rojiblancos" it was announced that both players are heading to the highest league in China, where they will represent the same team - "Dalian Yifang."
According to "AS", Atletico will receive 18 million euros for the 30-year-old Argentine, and about 30 million euros for the promising Y. Carrasco.
N. Gaitan joined Atletico in the summer of 2016 and played a total of 49 matches.
The departure of Y. Carrasco to this league was the most surprising. The 24-year-old Belgian was linked with Bayern Munich and various Premier League clubs last summer, but the attacker decided to leave Europe.
Y. Carrasco, who scored a goal in the 2016 UEFA Champions League final, played 123 matches and scored 23 goals in his one and a half years at the Madrid team.
.@CarrascoY21 and @nicogaitan will join Dalian Yifang on a permanent deal.
