The azulgrana club refuses to the demands of its representative in the negotiations with an agreement already between Inter and the Chilean, which also intends the freedom letter
At FC Barcelona they already sensed that Arturo Vidal was not going to make it easy to solve his departure from the Barça club two years after having arrived from Bayern Munich for 18 million euros. The Chilean midfielder, who is part of Leo Messi's narrowest circle in the Barcelona dressing room, does not count for Ronald Koeman and he communicated this to him. Hence reopen the door to the Inter of Milan after also confirmed the continuity of Antonio Conte , who took his orders in the Juventus.
Vidal already has an agreement with the 'Nerazzurri' club for two seasons and an optional one but, with a contract with Barça until 2021, he wants to collect his remaining salary. As they say this Sunday in La Gazzetta dello Sport , the representative of the 33-year-old midfielder asks for the six million euros net of the remaining chip for this season in exchange for terminating the contract, something to which Barça is logically not willing .
In the Barça club they understand that if Vidal wants to go free to make things easier for Inter , he must forgive what remains of his salary until June 30 since that is how the Lombard club will be able to compensate him with a custom token. It should also be noted that the tax regime favors Vidal since foreigners pay only 30% tax in northern Italy for five years. Current law applies to those who have not lived in the country in the last two years. This is not the case with Vidal , who left Turin in 2015.
The talks with his agent, Fernando Felicevich , are at their peak and it is expected that at the beginning of this week some meeting point will be reached with Vidal , who plans to travel to Milan as soon as possible to settle there. Arturo has played 96 games (53 + 43) with Barça and has scored 11 goals (3 + 8). His departure will help to considerably reduce the salary mass, a great Barça goal, as happened with Ivan Rakitic's farewell to Sevilla .
