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.
Juventus director general Giuseppe Marotta dealt a crushing blow to the hopes of Manchester United supporters everywhere. And right when the buzz from the Marcos Rojo signing was starting to kick in.
Marotta shot down all the rumors and speculation, and said there’s no truth behind it all.
“The negotiation has mostly been fueled by the media. There has been talk of Manchester United and Bayern Munich interested in him but the facts are different,” he said.
“He never asked to leave because he had recently extended his contract with us and there were no bids. There are all the conditions why Arturo stays here.”
