Atletico Madrid attacker Carrasco on way to Al-Shabab

Atletico Madrid attacker Yannick Carrasco is on the brink of signing for Al-Shabab.

The Belgium international is a step away from signing for the Saudi Pro League club this week, says Sky Sports.

Al-Shabab will pay 15m to land Carrasco.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone has confirmed the attacker's departure, stating: "I love Yannick very much as a person: we have been working together for many years, he left, he came back and we won a championship.

"He always sacrificed himself, I am grateful to those who have given us so much."
