Luciano Darío Vietto (Spanish pronunciation: [luˈsjano ðaˈɾi.o ˈβjeto]; born 5 December 1993) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Sevilla FC on loan from Atlético Madrid as a striker.
Vietto was born in the small town of Balnearia in the Province of Córdoba. He joined his local team Independiente de Balnearia at the age of seven.
At the age of 15, Vietto joined Argentine Primera División club Estudiantes, but was released two years later. He subsequently moved to Racing Club's youth academy, after a failed trial at Rosario Central.
In 2011 Vietto signed his first professional contract, and was called up to the main squad by manager Diego Simeone on 25 October. He made his professional debut on a day later, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Lanús.
Vietto was handed his first start on 3 September 2012, scoring his first professional goals (and his first hat-trick) in a 3–1 home success over San Martín de San Juan. He became a regular starter under Luis Zubeldía and contributed with 13 goals during the campaign, as his side only finished fifth.
After attracting interest European clubs such as Premier League club Liverpool and Serie A champions Juventus, Vietto signed a four-year contract extension with Racing on 26 March 2013.
