Manchester United Transfer News 2015: Arturo Vidal to Join Club this Summer?
It looks like Arturo Vidal might be heading to England next season. The question at the moment is where he will be playing out his 29th year.
The superstar Chilean midfielder is having the season of his career in leading Juventus to two major trophies in Italy and on the verge of a Champions League title.
All season he has been the dominant force in the "hole" behind the central attackers, creating space, chances and irritation for opposing defenders and midfielders tasked with holding him back. He plays with a physical edge to his game, a characteristic that gets under the skin of opposing defenses.
That style has always made him seem like the right fit for the Premier League and it seems that he might be headed in that direction with Manchester United currently the favorites to nab his services. Arsenal was linked with him at several intervals, but now it seems that the Louis van Gaal-led Red Devils may be looking to add the Chilean to their recruits.
Of course, that would require a hefty sum from the English side, but that would also necessitate numerous sales. Radamel Falcao is already gone and it looks like David de Gea might move to his native Spain to play for Real Madrid. That sum should be enough to even out any purchase of Vidal, but it would also mean making room for him in the lineup. Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and Angel Di Maria are all in competition for a midfield spot and some believe that Di Maria might be moved for a huge sum to Paris Saint-Germain this summer after enduring a rather poor season for United. Moving Di Maria would essentially make Vidal the main man in the attack.
