Vietto seems to have a real brocrush on Messi. We should sign him soon, I suspect him and Messi could build an epic on-pitch understanding together. We need a deeper bench of attackers anyway...
Vietto is Atleti-bound though. Just a matter of when.
What is that based on?
There were rumours last summer that Valencia have firts choice to sign him.
He has incredible talent, and it really makes you think about what we should expect from our own "young" players who are over 20. Well, here's a guy who just turned 21 (5th december) and is in the Europa League deciding matches for Villareal, and scoring against Barca in the Copa. He's definitely the real deal and could go on to grow into a world class player very soon.
Cholo connection
Simeone gave him his break, Vietto still looks up to him as a guide in football.
I am counting on you son.
