Arturo Vidal to join Bayern for £25m in next 24 hours
Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal is close to leaving the Turin club to join Bayern Munich, according to reports in Italy.
TV station Sky Italia says the Chile international could move to the Bundesliga champions for an initial fee of £25m and that deal could be completed in the next 24 hours.
Vidal has been the subject of transfer speculation in recent months with the South American player linked with Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal and Sevilla this summer after a strong campaign with Juve.
The 28-year-old scored seven goals and set up four more in 28 league appearances to help Juve clinch their fourth straight scudetto this past season.
Vidal also contributed to Juve winning the Coppa Italia and for his team to finish runners-up to Barcelona in the Champions League in the 2014-15 campaign.
Bayern are looking to reinforce their midfield line after selling Bastian Schweinsteiger to Manchester United in a £15m deal last Saturday.
