Real Madrid are eyeing Argentinian 21-year-old striker Luciano Vietto, Spanish website DefensaCentral.com has claimed.
The Villarreal man has caught the attention of many big European clubs with his superb performances in La Liga. Napoli and Liverpool were already interested in signing him before he moved to Spain, and now Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have joined the list of admirers.
Vietto arrived to Villarreal last summer from Argentinian side Racing de Avellaneda. Yet, he could have ended up at the Santiago Bernabeu one year before, in the summer of 2013, when Argentinian press reported a possible offer from Los Blancos.
With Chicharito Hernandez heading back to Manchester next summer, Carlo Ancelotti will need to reinforce his attack and Vietto is the last name added to Los Merengues wish-list.
Real Madrid are reportedly looking for a low-profile striker who wouldn’t mind starting off from the bench and would help the team as Karim Benzema’s replacement.
Vietto meets all the requirements, since he is young and has experience in La Liga. He has proved he can play at the highest levelled and lead his team, just like he did last week against Barcelona.
The main problem, as usual, is his price. Villarreal wouldn’t even negotiate for less than 30 million euros and Florentino Perez doesn’t want to spend that much money in a regular substitute. Racing de Avellaneda could exert some pressure, since they still own 20% of the player’s rights, but Villarreal would always make the final decision.
no. real should go for liverpool playmaker philip coutiniho or go for a defender hummels or godin..
Why buying a player that will spend most of his time on the bench ? It’s nonsense coz when you buy a player at a high cost, it’s because u don’t have his quality in your squad. Buy a real player that can make a difference in the team Pls. Or at least bring back Moralta.
buying a young player is not d problem but playing time matters a lot. if chicharito will b given a playing time, to b honest will try his best and he is one of strikers that d team needs.
