Manchester United Transfer News: Arturo Vidal Link Re-Emerges in Latest Rumours

Arturo Vidal's agent, Fernando Felicevich, has reportedly flown to Germany to discuss a potential departure from Bayern Munich for the midfielder, with Manchester United and Inter Milan said to be interested. 

According to Chilean newspaper El Mercurio (h/t Metro), Vidal, 31, is now surplus to requirements at Bayern and Felicevich has arrived to negotiate a transfer away from the Allianz Arena. 

The report added Bayern are likely to demand around £26 million for the Chile international, who has only a year remaining on his current contract at the club.

Vidal has been on United's radar since his days at Juventus.

He subsequently moved to Bayern in 2015 for €37 million and has played a key role for the club over the last three seasons, in which the club have won three Bundesliga titles.

However, Vidal has become something of a fitness liability, and it would arguably be a big risk for United to sign him now, when he is seemingly past his prime, per football writer Liam Canning:

The Red Devils have already added to their midfield in the current transfer window with the purchase of Fred from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Meanwhile, Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera already make up a fine central midfield unit at Old Trafford.

If more money is to be spent by United this summer they would be better off investing in reinforcements at centre-back and full-back, where they continue to lack consistent performers.
