It’s anyone’s guess where this sensation will end up come autumn. But, with the amount of hype surrounding a transfer, there has to be a really good chance that he will be wearing new colours come the start of next season.
Real Madrid were deemed favourites for the signature of Juventus powerhouse Arturo Vidal this summer and Arsenal have also been linked. And it’s easy to see why there is such interest.
Few midfielders are as powerful, athletic and good in the tackle as Vidal. But when you add his passing ability and goals, it’s not an overstatement to call him ‘the complete midfielder’. And players with such a broad range of skills are extremely rare. Hence the mooted price for the 27 year old.
Reports over the weekend have suggested that Manchester United could be very serious about signing the player. With their need for a midfield dynamo so great they may end up winning any bidding war that ensues.
Manchester United’s odds on signing the player have shortened with all the hype and they are now favourites with bookmaker Skybet to sign the player this summer, if he does depart his club, at odds of 11/8. It’s impossible to imagine him not making a huge difference to this Manchester United team.
Let’s have a look at the sensational midfielder in action. Manchester United fans: number one target?
