Inter Milan keen on pursuing Arturo Vidal transfer 

According to a report by Sky Sports, Inter Milan have reignited their interest in an Arturo Vidal transfer this window. The midfielder has fallen down the pecking order, with Barcelona now linked with Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek as his replacement. Having joined the club from Bayern Munich in 2018, Vidal has enjoyed a decent time at the Camp Nou, winning the LaLiga and the Spanish Super Cup in his debut season. 

However, the Chilean saw off a difficult term last season, with Barcelona failing to win a single piece of silverware. Inter Milan transfer news suggest that Antonio Conte is a huge admirer of the Chilean midfielder and is eager to work with him again. The two had paired up at Juventus, a stint that lasted four seasons. The mutual respect and understanding between the duo could prove pivotal for the Serie A giants in securing the  Arturo Vidal transfer.
