Agreement with Monaco for the transfer of Yannick Carrasco
Atlético de Madrid and AS Monaco have reached an agreement for the transfer of the Belgian midfielder Yannick Carrasco. He will play in our team for five seasons.
Yannick Carrasco will play in our team after the transfer agreement reached with AS Monaco. He signs as a red and white player for the next five seasons.
A full international with the Belgian national team, Yannick Carrasco is a young rising promise of European football who handles both feet well but works on the left wing, taking advantage of his speed, talent and his good technique with the ball to outrun his rival.
José Luis Pérez Caminero, Sporting Director of the Club, believes he is a great reinforcement: "We are very satisfied with the agreement reached with Monaco, because Yannick is a player with huge prospects and with an incredible future. He is a player with great speed, excellent at driving the ball and with a great shot. He will contribute perfectly to our goal of increasing the level of our team and the competitiveness of the group. I am convinced that he will contribute plenty."
Yannick Carrasco left the youth ranks of the Belgian Genk to sign for AS Monaco in 2010. Last season, he played 36 League matches (6 goals), 10 in the Champions (1 goal), 4 in the French Cup and 2 in the League Cup (1 goal).
