Inter Milan closing in on Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal?

Inter Milan are reportedly on the brink of agreeing a deal to sign Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal.

During his 18 months at Camp Nou, Vidal has failed to hold down a regular place in the starting lineup, with 37 of his 71 appearances coming off the substitutes' bench.

Despite regularly featuring in Ernesto Valverde's 18-man squad, the Chile international has been linked with a potential switch to San Siro in January.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that could soon become a reality, with the Italian outfit said to be prepared to pay €20m (£17.04m).

As it stands, it is unclear whether Inter would be required to pay that fee at the beginning of 2020 or during the summer.

Vidal and head coach Antonio Conte have previously worked together at Juventus.
