Manchester United rival Inter Milan for Arturo Vidal

According to reports in the Chilean media tonight, Bayern Munich have given Arturo Vidal permission to leave the club over the coming weeks, with both Inter Milan and Manchester United interested in his signature.

Vidal, an experienced 31-year-old Chilean international, joined Bayern from Italian giants Juventus in the summer of 2015 for a fee in the region of 40 million Euro.

The all-action box-to-box powerhouse has long been regarded as one of world football’s finest midfielders, with his sensational performances for his country during their back-to-back Copa America triumphs in 2015 and 2016 having only served to reinforce this widely-shared opinion.

However, rather suprisingly, Vidal has nevertheless been persistently linked with an exit from the Alliaz Arena over the last 12 months, with Manchester United and Chelsea having long been touted as potential destinations for the South American.

The last few weeks have seen a new front-runner emerge for the veteran, though, in the form of Serie A outfit Inter Milan.

The Nerazzurri are known to be on the lookout for reinforcements in the middle of the park, with reports stemming from Italy having suggested that there is strong mutual interest between the Italian giants and Vidal.

And, as per the aforementioned update stemming from Chile tonight, Bayern are, as has been suggested for some time now, ready to part ways with Vidal this summer.

However, Inter are not the only club hot on the trail of the explosive South American, with Manchester United also continuing to express an interest in his services.
