Vietto joins San Lorenzo: one-year deal, two-year extension option | OneFootball

San Lorenzo continues to make strong moves in the transfer market and has finalized the signing of Luciano Vietto, who accepted the offer and arrives as a free agent from Racing, although there is a particularity in his contract. This afternoon, he signed for one year, but there is a chance to extend it for two more years if he meets certain objectives related to the percentage of matches played.

This is a market opportunity for the Boedo team, which is adding a high-caliber player to its attack with extensive experience in European football without compromising its finances. Additionally, although he didn’t do badly at La Academia, he missed many matches in a year marked by injuries and back problems. In Avellaneda, he won the Copa Sudamericana and the Recopa, in which he scored against Botafogo in the first leg. In total, he played 29 matches, scored five goals, and provided one assist in 2025.

“Physically, I feel pretty good. I’ve been training on my own. It’s not the same as training with teammates. That’s the part I need the most. But if the coach thinks I can be ready for the weekend, I have no problem. San Lorenzo is giving me an opportunity. I left Racing and didn’t have a club. I spoke with the coach (Damián Ayude) and that was quite important,” he said upon arriving for his medical examination. He added: “I’m eager to show that I still have a lot of football left to give.”

The former Racing player had also been approached by other Argentine teams, such as Argentinos Juniors, Talleres, and Estudiantes de La Plata, as well as Colo Colo, who had him on their radar from Chile. However, San Lorenzo’s offer ended up tipping the scales.

Although he arrives with a big reputation, it remains to be seen whether Vietto can regain his good form and, above all, avoid the injuries and physical ailments that plagued him so much last year, during which he missed a total of 16 matches due to discomfort.
