The Vietto Saga

Luis Enrique’s 2016-17 team planning is all done but completed with the 4th Striker situation still very much in the air.

In the last three days Barca fans have gone dramatically in a meltdown with the excitement of expected announcement of Atletico Madrid Striker Luciano Vietto’s signing. Despite MD and Sport reporting an agreement between FCB and Atletico Madrid it looks like the Argentinean still hasn’t decided his destination.
Barca has sought many players this summer for their 4th striker position and to be a backup to the glorious front-line of MSN but slowly slowly Robert Fernandez’s options are depleting.

After being snubbed by Gabriel Jesus who looks headed to England(Man City),Gamiero who is expensive and unfeasible at this moment ,Barca looked towards possible move of Vietto who was not only fitting “22 year old” profile but was also economical. There were also reports of Messi having given suggestion of his name to the Barca board.

Now it is in the hands of Vietto who fears he won’t get the desired playing time as he doesn’t wants to have another shady season like he had with Atletico.

For him it will either a period of development and growth under the best players in his position or as a starter in a club that can value him even more that is Sevilla.
