Inter remain hopeful of securing a loan deal for Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal at the end of the transfer window, according to Tuttosport.

The Catalan giants are in talks with Arsenal over a move for Philippe Coutinho, while Rafinha is also expected to leave.

However, Barca are likely to bring in a new midfielder if both depart and this would mean Vidal is surplus to requirements for Ernesto Valverde.

Inter stand a chance of securing the Chilean international on loan with an option to buy, provided they can offload Joao Mario and perhaps Borja Valero first.

Antonio Conte is thought to be looking for an extra reinforcement in midfield after the arrivals of Stefano Sensi and Nicolo Barella.

Vidal spent three years working with Conte at Juventus and was a key figure in the side that won three Serie A titles under his guidance.

Inter nearly signed Vidal last summer when he was still playing for Bayern Munich, but Keita Balde ultimately arrived instead.

The 31-year-old is still a target twelve months later and it could be a case of better late than never for both parties.
