Inter will try to sign Arturo Vidal from Barcelona later this month if Radja Nainggolan and Joao Mario are both sold, according to Tuttosport.

Vidal won four Serie A titles with Juventus between 2011-15, scoring 35 goals in 124 league matches.

Conte has identified the Chilean international as the ideal reinforcement to complete his new-look midfield, but Inter must create space for him first.

Vidal scored three goals and provided seven assists for Barca last season, as Ernesto Valverde’s side won the La Liga title and reached the Champions League semi-finals.

Yesterday, reports in Catalonia assured the midfielder would not be moving anywhere this summer, despite a mixed debut campaign in Spain.

“Ernesto Valverde considers Vidal to be a necessary player in his project going forward, due to the fact there is no other player with his characteristics in the squad,” Sport reported.

“Various clubs have expressed an interest in him, especially in Italy, but Vidal is at ease at Barcelona and the club want to keep him.”

The paper made no mention of Vidal’s teammate Ivan Rakitic, although he too has been linked with a potential transfer to Inter in August.
