Inter could terminate the contract of midfielder Arturo Vidal in the summer by paying him a severance payment of €4 million according to a clause in his contract.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, who report that the Chilean’s deal is set to expire at the end of June 2023, but that he could be released should the compensation by paid to him.

Vidal has had a role in the Nerazzurri’s team this season despite reports over last summer that the club were looking to move him on.

However, with the 34-year-old currently earning a net of €6.5 million per season, the second highest wages at the club after Alexis Sanchez, they are still aiming to get him off the wage bill as part of their policy of reducing wage spending.

To this end, a severance payment of €4 million would be enough to allow the club to unilaterally terminate the midfielder’s deal.
