Arturo Vidal (78 Viewers)
- Thread starter Azzurri7
- Start date
Perfectly depicts our situation.
I really think that his agent might be pushing for a move, but United aren't willing to match our asking price and Vidal won't force a move on his own. He's satisfied with his life in Turin, signed a new contract, on a good salary, but this rumor simply won't go away. One of the most frustrating sagas, if there ever was something in it in the first place.
I haven't read anything remotely legitimate that would suggest this guy is going anywhere at this point.
Also, when a coach publicly states that a player is fundamental to his plans, and the sporting director states that the player won't be sold unless he asks to leave, well, both of those statements are the same as the club saying that they don't want Vidal to go. As funny as that Vidal/Juve back and forth above is.
Given the way things have been destabilized with Conte's departure, it doesn't seem likely to me that the club sells its best player -- especially later in the market, as it typically becomes more difficult to replace said player effectively without overspending.
I think Vidal is going to have another excellent season, and sounds like we'll revisit this conversation a year from now.

Not at all. Probably because I'm confident he's staying and how links are way too poor to catch my attention.
I probably wouldn't sleep if it was L'Équipe reporting 60mln + bid from PSG. Or if it was Sky saying same numbers to Real/Barca/City. Not only these numbers that we were seeing are low but Manchester United? Seriously? No.. I just... no.
These rumors we've been seeing to me feel like it's tribalfootball reporting.

I'm confident as well that he will stay and have been saying this all along, but merely pointing out how irritating English tabloids have been this summer. All the rumors have been taken from Chilean press and they seem to hold the grudge against us concerning Vidal's injury. But this won't go away until the end of transfer window, which is annoying by itself, since so far nothing credible have been reported and every rumor was shrugged off by either Marotta, Allegri or Vidal.
