Even Tuttosport confirmed Inter’s desire to bring Arturo Vidal back to Italy. “The Hypothesis derives from the strong relationship between Walter Sabatini and Fernando Felicevich, the Chileans attorney, and also from the farewell of Carlo Ancelotti – as it reads. This summer, when Inter had tested the working space for the potential purchase of Vidal, they were forced to give up due to the absolute refusal of Ancelotti to let the Chilean leave – who depressingly- returned to Germany after the final of the Confederations Cup of which Chile lost, but in contrast to this Vidal made his loyalty to the Bavarian cause well known.

Jupp Heynckes has now reshuffled the cards after his appointment to Bayern, since Arturo Vidal – who has always thought about returning to Italy – is now unsure of how he will fit in under the new Coach (meanwhile he finished the UCL game against Celtic on the bench). However in addition to the situation of Bayern there are also FFP restrictions to be considered.” This could be resolved by the sale of a major player in squad, Tuttosport believes this is most likely to be Marcelo Brozovic: but which club would have so much desire and resources to invest in the Croat during January?
