OFFICIAL: Carrasco returns to Atletico

Yannick Carrasco has rejoined Atletico Madrid on loan from Dalian Yifang. The Spanish side reached an agreement with Dalian Yifang for the player to be loaned out until the end of the season. 

Atletico Madrid have managed to strengthen their squad on transfer deadline day. After PSG's refusal to sell Edinson Cavani for 18 million euros, 'Los Colchoneros' went to plan B to sign Carrasco. 

Carrasco joins the club until the end of the season to give Diego Simeone's men extra bite in attack. In fact, the footballer ended up training with his new teammates even before the loan was made official. 

Atletico's last minute plan was put into action on Thursday. Carrasco travelled to Madrid, passed the medical and the Clinica Universidad de Navarra and signed his new contract. 

Simeone could have the Belgian winger at his disposal for Saturday's derby with Real Madrid. The Atletico Madrid coach stated that, if the documentation arrives in time, he will be in the squad for the city derby.
