Luciano Vietto will imminently be a Barcelona player according to Catalan sports newspaper Mundo Deportivo, who claim that a €22 million fee has been agreed between the Spanish champions and Atlético Madrid.
The 22-year-old has failed to make much of an impact at the Estadio Vicente Calderón since making a €20 million from Villarreal last summer despite a reunion with Diego Simeone, the coach who handed the youngster his professional debut for Racing.
Rumours of Vietto’s departure from Atléti have been rife and although Jorge Sampaoli’s Argentine revolution at Sevilla appeared the more likely destination, Barcelona have moved swiftly to tie up a deal.
