Manchester United ready to include two players for landing €60m rated midfielder

It looks as if Manchester United’s pursuit for Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal is about to hit the rocks. According to the reputed Gianluca Di Marzio website, the Chilean has left with his Old Lady team mates for the club’s pre season trip to Jakarta. The Red Devils are confident that they can still the 27 year old but it now appears that they are running out of time.

Moreover Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is "convinced" that Vidal will ignore Manchester United's interest to stay in Serie A. "I am convinced Arturo Vidal will stay with us. My contract is not formal, but I think it’s safe to say I will be a Juventus player for a long time yet."

Italian site Corriere Dello Sport reported yesterday that United manager Louis Van Gaal is holding cards close to his chest and is also ready to offer Portuguese winger Nani and out of favour striker Javier Hernandez if required to land the Chilean.

It is believed that Van Gaal has urged Club executive and Vice Chairman to speed up his transfer dealings which shows his desperation to acquire the services of Vidal.

Juventus have reaffirmed their desire to keep hold of the player stating they'll only listen to offers if the midfielder himself issues a transfer request. Sky Sports reported yesterday that new Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri revealed he has held talks with the player who has committed his future to the Serie A club. However Director General Giuseppe Marotta revealed they wouldn't stand in the Chilean's way if he did decide the time was right to move on.

“Vidal? We already said that he is not on the market, but the player's will is decisive,” said Marotta. “Vidal has never said he wants to leave, and Juventus will sell him only if he were unhappy to remain. Nowadays, however, there’s absolutely no reason to even be discussing this now.”

€ 60m Manchester United target set to wear number 7 shirt at Old Trafford

When you are in new love with your girlfriend, you can’t stop thinking about her. You can’t just get enough of her blonde hair, her cuddly cheeks and the fragrance you sensed in your first date. Manchester United’s situation in their ongoing transfer saga with Juventus midfielder for the past month has the setting on similar lines. Now if reports from Vidal’s native country Chile is to be believed thanks to the national daily Le Tercera, the player is set to be a Red Devil soon.

That’s not all, Vidal is set to follow the footsteps of the iconic players like Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham and everything is placed for the 27 year old to wear the number seven shirt. It is believed that new manager Louis Van Gaal is pushing the club’s executive Vice Chairman Ed Woodward to continue his recruitment drive and has asked him to go all out for Vidal, even if it means to double his wages (£200,00 a week )  if the player switches loyalties to join the Manchester club.

Juventus understandably are playing hardball, first they have maintained they won’t sell the player despite knowing their crunch financial crisis would be tough to reject a €60m offer from the English giants. Secondly, they don’t  want to force the player out and to appease fans, despite being Serie A champions three times in a row, would want Vidal to put in a transfer request if all it comes down to the wages, which the Bianconeri cannot afford to pay.

Vidal’s agent Fernando Felicevich has been quit in the past few days but Sebastian Giovinco’s representative Andrea D’Amico is a certain loudspeaker as of now. The gentleman has given his verdict saying that Vidal will leave the Turin club in the summer transfer window. “Vidal and Pogba? One of the two will leave. I’ll go a step further I’m convinced Vidal will certainly leave.”

Juventus chief Beppe Marotta however looks like a sage in strict denial saying Sky Italia, “Vidal feels good with us, and we are happy to have him here. We have already renewed his deal, I don't think there will be problems." We understand you Marotta, who wants to lose his favourite player!
