Atletico Madrid have
sold Belgian winger Yannick Carrasco and Argentine midfielder Nicolas
Gaitan to Chinese club Dalian Yifang, the Spanish club confirmed on
Monday.
Carrasco and Gaitan
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 have not specified the fees involved but, according to the
Spanish press, Carrasco’s departure will earn them around 30 million
euros ($36.9 million) and Gaitan 18 million euros.
Carrasco’s former team Monaco are also reportedly set to receive 25
percent of the transfer fee, due to an agreement made when the winger
moved in July 2015.
He went on to make 124 appearances for Atletico, registering 23 goals
and 17 assists. Argentinian winger Gaitan joined from Benfica in 2016
and played 49 times for the club.
Dalian Yifang, newly-promoted to the Chinese top flight, also signed
West Ham defender Jose Fonte for an undisclosed fee on Friday.
