Barcelona and Bayern Munich agree deal to sign Arturo Vidal
The 31-year-old midfielder should be on his way to Camp Nou with a medical set to take place in a few days.
Spanish giants Barcelona have reportedly come to an agreement with Bayern Munich to sign Chilean star Arturo Vidal on a three-year deal. The midfielder is set to undergo a medical with the club in a couple of days.
The 31-year-old was chased by a number of big clubs with Inter leading the race, but the Chilean choose Barcelona as his next home. Vidal will be a perfect replacement of Barca's physical and box-to-box midfielder Paulinho, who returned to Chinese League club Guangzhou Evergrande on a year-long loan deal.
