Clubs are still waiting for Fulham’s final position on the loan of Luciano Vietto before announcing his new destination, according to the Portuguese press.

Newspaper A Bola says Atletico Madrid and Sporting are ready to make his move to Portugal official, but they must wait until the Cottagers say if they’ll be using their buying option.

Loaned to Fulham until the end of the season, Vietto has one goal and one assist for the Whites, and can be signed for a fixed amount.

But the striker has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Sporting for a five-year deal, and now waits for the clubs to make the move official.

A Bola adds that with Fulham’s relegation to the Championship, the possibility of staying at the London side ‘is not liked’ by the player. Also because he hasn’t been much used at the club.

So it looks like just a matter of time until Vietto finally joins Sporting.
