With the Apertura Tournament about to begin, San Lorenzo continues its search for reinforcements to strengthen the attacking front and in the last few hours a name emerged that generated noise in the market: Luciano Vietto.
The 32-year-old forward was left as a free player after ending his relationship with Racing, a club in which he did not achieve continuity in recent times and ended up closing his cycle. In that context, his name was offered to San Lorenzo and the possibility began to be analyzed in Boedo.
Vietto has an extensive international career, with spells at Villarreal, Atlético de Madrid, Valencia and Al-Hilal, in addition to his recent experience in Argentine football. His profile fits the search of the coaching staff headed by Damián Ayude, who aims to add hierarchy and experience to the Barça offensive.
The main obstacle to moving forward is linked to economics. In his last contract he received one of the highest chips and that aspect is what today forces San Lorenzo to cautiously evaluate the viability of the operation, in a tight financial context.
At the same time, the attacker has polls from abroad, especially from Brazil, which keeps the definition of his immediate future open. In any case, it is not ruled out that in the next few hours there will be more direct contacts to find out the player’s predisposition and the conditions of an eventual arrival.
Vietto’s name is on the table. If the parties manage to bring positions closer, San Lorenzo could add significant reinforcement to face a season that appears demanding on all fronts.
