Yannick Carrasco

Yannick Carrasco spent five years in the city of Genk, between 2010 and 2015. However, he was not able to make a single senior appearance for the Belgian club.

Succeedingly, move to Monaco appeared on the cards for the winger. He spent five fruitful years at the French club, two with the junior team and three with the senior team. His eye-catchy performances saw heading the wish list of many clubs. But, Atletico Madrid was the club to secure his signature for a fee of 20 million. He had several memorable outings with the Spanish club including scoring the equalizer in the 2016 Champions League finals against Real Madrid.

He had a fallout with Atletico Madrid manager Deigo Simeone, and several other teammates after the inception of the 2017/18 season. Manchester United were interested on the winger, but he preferred to move to China.
