Barcelona’s chances of landing Atletico Madrid forward Luciano Vietto have reportedly suffered a major blow, with the player said to be close to moving to Sevilla on loan.
That’s according to Lluis Miguelsanz of Sport, who has stated the striker is on the brink of a switch to Andalusia, despite interest from Barca. “Sevilla have acted quickly to convince the 22-year-old that he'll receive the assurances of playing time during the upcoming season and thus preventing Barca from swooping in and scuppering the deal,” it’s noted.
According to Mundo Deportivo (h/t Football Espana) the forward’s agent, Jorge Czyterspiller, has been in negotiations with Barcelona about a move.
