Bayern Munich have reached an agreement with Juventus over the transfer of Arturo Vidal.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed the Chilean
international midfielder’s move, pending a medical, at a press
conference in Guangzhou, China where Bayern are currently on tour.
He said: “I can fundamentally confirm that we have reached an
agreement with both parties, Juventus and the player. All that is
lacking now is the medical and the signatures on the contract.”
That should happen in time for Vidal to link up with his new
team-mates from next week, Rummenigge added. The former Bayer Leverkusen
star is currently on holiday in Miami after his successful
participation in the Copa America and he is due in Munich at the weekend
to undergo his medical.
The 28-year-old put in a transfer request earlier this summer once he
learned of Bayern’s interest. Vidal moved to Juve from Leverkusen in
2011 and made a total of 124 Serie A appearances, scoring 35 goals. He
arrives in Munich with the experience of 117 Bundesliga appearances and
15 goals, while he has also played in the UEFA Champions League 27
times, netting nine.
He will become the second midfielder to leave Juve this summer after
Andrea Pirlo, although i Bianconeri have signed Sami Khedira on a free
transfer. Bayern’s Mario Gotze is another Juve target, although
Rummenigge quashed reports he would move to Turin as part of the deal
for Vidal
