I Can Be Juventus' Most Prolific Midfielder - Paul Pogba

Bayern Agree €40m Transfer Fee For Arturo Vidal

The Bavarian giants only made first contact with the ‘Old Lady’ earlier today but negotiations have moved quickly. The Chilean midfielder has spent four years at Juventus and is being signed as a replacement for Bastian Schweinsteiger, who recently left Bayern for Manchester United.

No United Move For Arturo Vidal - Massimiliano Allegri

Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal is set to start against Chievo on Saturday and "will stay in Turin", according to Massimiliano Allegri. The Chile international has been linked with a move to Manchester United throughout the close-season.

Man United In Late Push For Vidal

Manchester United are making a concerted effort to sign Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal before the transfer window closes on Monday, Goal has learned.

The Premier League side have been monitoring Vidal all summer but have been put off by the Turin club's strong, public stance that the Chilean would not be sold. With Vidal not willing to force a move and jeapordise his relationship with the Juve fans, and the club's reluctance to be seen to offload one of their star men, United were left in limbo.

Louis van Gaal had been willing to wait until January to make a move for Roma's Kevin Strootman if United could not land his top targets this summer.
