Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United this summer but after so many weeks of desperation amongst the club supporters, there had been no real advancement in this transfer saga until now.
England’s most successful team have always been looking for a replacement of their former captain Roy Keane and are of the view the Chilean would be the perfect fit.
Vidal possesses all of the qualities to replace the club legend. He epitomises the perfect box-to-box attacking midfielder, is a first-class tackler and true team player. He will also comfortably fit into the preferred system (3-5-2) of new Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal.
Van Gaal has always been a fan of the Chilean star and had also tried to sign him during his time managing German Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich.
According to our sources in Italy, Vidal has always dreamt of playing in England and especially for Man United.
Vidal’s club Juventus have told the Chile ace to make a final decision whether his future lies in Serie A or the Premier League, before 15 August.
There also have been reports of the player’s agent Fernando Felicevich agreeing personal terms with United on behalf of his client and the Red Devils are poised to make a bid in the region of £ 47.5m at the end of Juventus’ pre-season tour of Australia.
There had previously been rumours of Van Gaal deciding not to make a move for the Chilean on finding out the extent of his current injury but according to the latest updates from our sources, the Dutchman is happy with Vidal’s knee condition and the World Cup hero is training alone in Sydney to further improve his fitness.
