Atletico Madrid's two forward players are likely to change clubs in this depat time. They are Yannick Carrasco and Fernando Torres.
This season the two players were indeed unable to compete with Kevin Gameiro, Antoine Griezmann, and Diego Costa as Atletico's mainstay on the front lines.
The situation got more and more difficult when Costa was able to play last January so the time for Carrasco and Torres played less. Especially Carrasco who does need hours of flying remember the World Cup 2018 with Belgium waiting for him.
Carrasco this season only appeared eight times in La Liga with a notch three goals and had problems with Simeone. Meanwhile, Torres is already out of his time at the club and the possibility of his contract is not renewed.
Therefore moving clubs is the best option for both where the Super League of China is the goal of Carrasco and Torres. Is a promotional club of Dalian Yifang who intend to bring both.
Will play in the top division this season, Dalian need new power in their squad.
"If his departure is official then it is important - he is a player with a great future and the current performance is the same," Simeone said of Carrasco as quoted by Soccerway.
"It's the player's decision, now Gaitan has a new opportunity again, he is a player we really believe in. Hopefully Nico can grow and become our important part," he continued.
"What's important to us is the team's victory, we both want the best for the club, nothing of importance," Simeone concluded about Torres's future.
