"Atletico" Madrid will replace Arda Turan, who left for "Barcelona", with Monaco winger Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco. The 21-year-old Belgian is believed to have cost the Spanish capital club 20 million euros. Various reports also indicate that "Atleti" beat out London's "Tottenham" in the battle for this footballer. "We are very pleased with the agreement we have reached with Monaco, as Yannick is a very promising player with a great future ahead of him," said Jose Luis Perez Caminero, the sports director of the Madrid team, about the newcomer. "He is a very fast player, capable of controlling the ball well and shooting it. He will greatly contribute to our goal of increasing the team's mastery. I am convinced that he will be very useful to the team." Carrasco is already the third newcomer to "Atleti" this offseason. Earlier, the club acquired two more forwards, Jackson Martinez and Luciano Vietto."
