Arturo Vidal insists on Juventus stay

Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal has insisted that he wants to remain at the Italian club beyond the summer.

The Chilean's impressive performances for the Bianconeri over the past two seasons have seen him linked with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich among other clubs.

"This is the strongest side in Italy," he told the Corriere della Sera. "I'm here and I want to stay for some time so that I can continue winning in this shirt.

"The coach (Antonio Conte) has helped me a lot. He's always explained things to me and told me how he wanted me to play. I know the history of Juventus. They were the strongest side a few years ago and I knew we would be that again.

"I have some really strong teammates playing by my side and that is why we have won. There is great harmony on and off the pitch. Juventus have what is needed to take on anybody. We certainly have what is needed to win the Scudetto and Champions League."

Vidal joined Juventus from Bayer Leverkusen in 2011.
