Southampton are moving for Atletico Madrid striker Luciano Vietto.

The Argentine has returned to Atletico after a difficult loan last season at Sevilla. Despite his struggles, Vietto still managed to score 10 goals.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone is prepared to see Vietto sold this summer, particularly after securing Fernandro Torres to a new one-year deal.

Saints have come forward to open talks about a permanent deal for the striker - and negotiations are underway.

Sampdoria are also keen with Patrik Schick to join Juventus.
