Arturo Vidal offered new Juventus contract

Juventus have reportedly offered midfield linchpin Arturo Vidal a bumper new contract to fend off interest from a host of European rivals.

Vidal has been a consistent performer alongside Andrea Pirlo for Juve under Antonio Conte, helping the Old Lady win consecutive Serie A titles with a regular supply of goals from midfield.

Conte is desperate to keep the Chilean international and has offered Vidal a fresh four-year deal worth around £3.5m a season to fend off rumours of a move to Real Madrid, according to La Stampa.

The 26-year-old was one of Juve's top scorers in all competitions last season, finding the net 13 times in 40 appearances.

Despite persistent links with top European sides including Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, Vidal's agent confirmed last week that his client remains committed to Juve.
