Barcelona Transfer News: Latest on Luciano Vietto and Javier Mascherano Rumours

Barcelona have reportedly moved into pole position to land Atletico Madrid forward Luciano Vietto, with Sevilla also said to be in the running for the player.

According to Lluis Miguelsanz of Sport, the 22-year-old striker will decide between the two clubs, with his career at the Vicente Calderon set to come to an end after just one season. The Spanish champions are said to be ready to part with €22 million (£18.4 million) to land the former Villarreal starlet.

“Barca are better placed to sign Vietto after agreeing to buy his economic rights, while Sevilla are, for now, only contemplating whether to go through with the transfer,” the piece continued.
