It’s a case of one in, one out at Atlético Madrid on transfer deadline day, as Nikola Kalinic arrives from Atlético Madrid, while Luciano Vietto is apparently on his way to… Fulham.
According to Rubén Uría in Spain, a journalist for a variety outlets, including the Spanish versions of Eurosport and beIN Sports, the 24-year-old forward will move to Craven Cottage in the final hours of the transfer window.
Never really finding consistent game time under Diego Simeone, Vietto will now be looking to relaunch his career, and has chosen the Premier League, and Fulham, to do so.
There are apparently still a few details to sort out, but the agreement is there, and we’ll have to see whether it’s a loan or a transfer.
If this deal does go through, the forward could join the likes of Martin Montoya and André-Franck Zambo Anguissa as deadline day acquisitions for Slavisa Jokanovic’s side.
