Luciano Vietto is one of the greatest talents performing at Atletico Madrid. The Argentine striker has high hopes, and it is possible that a new star will rise in a couple of years, but for this the player needs to cope with the epidemic of injuries that crippled him. At the moment, Luciano Vietto has been leased to Seville in order to receive more playing practice, to recover, demonstrate and develop his best qualities.
Career start at Racing
Luciano Vietto was born December 5, 1993 in Argentina, where at the age of seven he entered the football academy of the local club Independiente. He studied there for eight years, after which he was invited to Estudiantes, where he spent another two years before being at the age of 17 to be in the Racing youth club, which a year later offered the young striker a professional contract.
In his first season, Luciano Vietto practically did not get the opportunity to play for the main team - he only went to the field three times and scored goals, unfortunately, he could not. But from the next season, the striker became the base player - in two seasons he played 70 matches and scored 18 goals in them. As a result, he attracted the attention of scouts from the Spanish club Villarreal, who looked at the young player and decided that he should be transported to Europe. So Vietto was in Spain, where his talent was revealed.
Relocation to Europe
Villarreal made an incredible deal - the club signed an extremely talented football player for only five and a half million euros. Luciano Vietto immediately got a place in the main team and began to work miracles. Over the entire season, he spent 48 matches, in which he scored twenty goals - which turned out to be more than in the previous two years at Racing. Naturally, such progress could not go unnoticed for a long time, large European clubs began to realize that Luciano Vietto was a football player with a great future. The first in place was the Madrid “Atletico”, which laid out for the young talent as much as twenty million euros. The player went on to rise, because the club of Madrid in recent years has become the third major force in the Spanish championship after the “Real” and “Barcelona”.
Recession in Atletico
Unfortunately, the brilliant young man could not show the same thing in the new club that he showed a year ago. Luciano Vietto practically did not score in Atlético. He spent a whole year at the club, but scored only three goals in 28 matches. Naturally, it also affected that he had half the playing practice. Therefore, Luciano lost ground, and now not everyone is sure that he is the very genius who was seen in him only a year ago. However, the striker is still very young, ahead of him a lot of time to open up completely. Fortunately, he had the opportunity to do this - Madrid Atletico signed Sevilla striker Kevin Gameiro, and Vietto leased as part of the compensation. So now Luciano has a whole year to prove his worth and return to Atlético as a winner.
Rent in Seville
Now Vietto is on loan at Seville, and he started this season very cheerfully - in five matches he scored two goals, but was injured and is undergoing rehabilitation. It remains to hope that he will recover quickly and be able to help his team in the future, as well as show everything that he is capable of. So far, Sevilla lacks a clean striker, as Franco Vasquez prefers to play from the bottom, and Vitolo, who replaced the injured Vietto, is by default a winger. Of course, there is Ben Yedder, but so far the club has not involved him.
Performances for the national team and personal life
Vietto has not played for Argentina, but he has four games for the youth team, in which he scored two goals. But again, the young football player has everything ahead, although Paolo Dybala, who successfully plays in the Juventus Turin, plays in his position among the Argentines, so Luciano will have to try his best to succeed. As for the personal life of the player, then almost nothing is known about her. There were rumors that Luciano Vietto had a girlfriend, but so far they have not been officially confirmed.
