"Barcelona" just before midnight officially announced that they reached an agreement with Munich's "Bayern" for the acquisition of Arturo Vidal. As announced on the official website, the Chilean national team midfielder will soon arrive in the capital of Catalonia to undergo a medical examination and then sign a three-year contract. The acquisition of A. Vidal resembles the Malcom story - this summer, there was no mention at all of the possibility of seeing the Chilean in the Catalan ranks. It was believed that the midfielder would continue his career at Inter Milan, but Bayern did not agree with the conditions proposed by the Italians. According to unofficial data, "Barcelona" will pay 30 million euros for the experienced footballer, although a sum of 20 million is also not ruled out. Both clubs have not yet confirmed the value of the deal. 31-year-old A. Vidal joined Bayern in 2015. In total, he played 132 matches and scored 22 goals for the Bavarians. In the past, the Chilean has also played for Turin's "Juventus" and Leverkusen's "Bayer" in Europe. A. Vidal will be Barcelona's fourth new player this summer - the team has also been supplemented by Arthur, Malcom, and Clement Lenglet. In total, the Catalans have already spent about 130-140 million euros.
