Inter Milan 'to sign Arturo Vidal on a free transfer'

Inter Milan are reportedly closing in on the signing of Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal.

The 33-year-old was a key player for the Catalan giants during the 2019-20 campaign, contributing eight goals and three assists in 43 appearances in all competitions.

The Chile international still has one year left to run on his contract at Camp Nou, but according to Sport, Barca are prepared to release him this summer as he is not in the plans of new head coach Ronald Koeman.

As a result, the report claims that the experienced midfielder will fly out to Milan at the start of next week ahead of joining the Serie A giants on a free transfer.

Vidal starred for now Inter boss Antonio Conte at Juventus, winning three Serie A titles under his management.

The South American has scored 11 times and contributed 10 assists in 96 outings for Barca, who have allegedly been told that they can sign Liverpool's Georginio Wijnaldum for £15m this summer.
