Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal has admitted he needs to feel important and the Barcelona DNA has complicated life for him at the reigning La Liga champions.

The Chilean national team midfielder has been heavily linked with a potential move to Inter ahead of the upcoming transfer window and admits feeling the coaches confidence in him is a big thing.

“I need to feel important. In the other clubs it has been different, here in Barcelona there is the so-called ‘Barça DNA’ which has made things a little more complicated for me,” he explained in an interview with sports broadcaster ESPN Chile.

“Moreover, I have had two very different coaches whilst here. In any case, every time I went on the field I did my duty, showing that I can adapt to any style of football.

“I repeat. I always need to feel the confidence of the coach to feel important and that is what I am looking for.”

The former Bayern Munich player proceeded to share three clubs that he has an interest in playing for before his playing career is over, all of which are clubs outside of Europe.

“We all know who Boca Juniors are and what they represent in Argentina. Unfortunately I have never been able to play at La Bombonera. It would be a dream for me to do so and I talk about it often with Gary Medel. I also like Flamengo in Brazil and Club America in Mexico. It would be spectacular to play with these clubs one day.”

The 33-year-old, who has a contract with his current employers through to the end of next season, has made 34 appearances across all competitions to date.

In his time on the park, which totals just under 1600 minutes, the ex-Bayer Leverkusen player has scored seven goals and has provided three assists for his teammates.
