Barcelona are maintaining their firm stance when it comes to the future of midfielder Arturo Vidal with the club according to a report in today’s print edition of Spanish newspaper AS.
The Blaugrana have made it absolutely clear to the Chilean international and his representatives that he will not be allowed to depart the club unless a ‘convincing’ offer is to arrive on the table.
Inter have shown a strong interest in landing the 32-year-old with him believed to be manager Antonio Conte’s number one target to strengthen his midfield.
Reports in the Italian media have suggested that Inter are now willing to pursue a permanent deal for the former Juventus man despite initially only wanting to take him on loan due to his age.
This season Vidal, who is under contract with the Catalan giants until the end of next season, has made 19 appearances across all competitions. In 767 minutes, he has scored five goals and given a single assist.
