Time for your daily Arturo Vidal is coming/not coming/maybe coming/definitely coming to Manchester United update. We’ll look at what media outlets in which countries are saying the transfer has been completed. Or not. Or maybe it has.
There’s media in three countries interested in this: Juventus (Italy) his current club, Chile (where he was a national star for the World Cup team) and United (England of course!)
One thing is for certain, no one can dispute this: the Arturo Vidal to Man United storyline will not go away.
At this point, you can almost do a daily “Arturo Vidal transfer rumors” post, in addition to, or perhaps in lieu of, your usual “Manchester United transfer rumors” or “Premier League transfer rumors” article. That’s how prolonged and protracted this transfer saga has been.
“according to reports in Italy, there have been some developments in United’s chase of Arturo Vidal.
The Chilean’s agent Fernando Felicevich is reportedly set to meet Louis van Gaal today, with the red Devils boss prepared to offer both Marouane Fellaini and Javier Hernandez as part of the deal.”
In terms of that Italian media source, here’s what’s transpiring:

That’s pretty all we got for right now. It’s a bit of a slow Arturo Vidal news day actually. At least on this day. But we all know that won’t last. Stay tuned as things will be popping on this one.
