Atlético Madrid Makes Bid for Luan

A report from ESPN Brazil says that Atlético Madrid has made a €20 million bid for Luan Vieira, who currently plays at the forward position for Grêmio in Brazil.

After reports that Liverpool, Sampdoria and Zenit St. Petersburg are interested in the 24-year-old Brazilian, it seems like he has a new suitor and Luan is keen on the idea of joining the Madrid-based club.

ESPN Brazil also reported that the Porto Alegre club has made a counteroffer of €24 million and are awaiting response back.

Should the deal go through, Luan would be available to join Atlético after the end of the Brazilian season in December.

This would be an ideal situation for los Colchoneros as they are banned from signing new players until the next transfer window in January.

Since joining Grêmio in 2014, Luan has been a breakthrough player as he has scored over 50 goals in 182 appearances with the Brazilian side.
