Yannick Carrasco Joins Saudi Pro League: A Look at the Arab Football Rampage

The Saudi team made the signing of the international official, news that had been expected for several days and that seemed to have been assumed by the Argentine coach himself, as he acknowledged last Saturday at a press conference. “He had the need to go out, but he still hasn’t made it official. Whenever it is, we will meet there in Riyadh to have a coffee and give each other a hug because I love him and he is a boy who gave us a lot, “said the ‘Cholo’.

Carrasco landed in the summer of 2015 in the Madrid team from AS Monaco and his figure grew with the passing of the matches. The Belgian was the author of the 1-1 draw in the 2016 Champions League final against Real Madrid and in his second campaign he improved his performance.

The mattress team was satisfied with his performance in the pandemic season and chose to sign him again with a four-year contract. Carrasco responded to this confidence and has been key since then in a club with which he was proclaimed league champion in 2021 and with which he enjoyed the minutes that Simeone gave him, who made him a left winger when he modified his drawing to three central defenders. As an Atlético footballer, the Belgian leaves with 266 games played, with 47 goals and 45 assists.
