Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal has made it clear that he does not intend to leave the Bianconeri.

Vidal has been linked with a move to Spain and England, but remains firm in his want to remain with Juventus saying he’d like to stay with the Old Lady for the rest of his career.

His contributions on the pitch helped the Bianconeri to an unbeaten Scudetto winning season last campaign, and Vidal is excited about the possibility of winning even more with the Turin giants.

“I’ve not thought about trying my luck in England or Spain,” he said on FIFA’s official website.  “I repeat that I’m very happy here, and if I had to spend the rest of my career here I’d do so gladly.”

The Chilean international arrived in Turin from Bayer Leverkusen in 2011. Speaking about his departure from Germany, Vidal highlighted his expectations for the Turin club.

“When I agreed to the move I did so thinking we could turn things around and fight for the championship, and that’s how it turned out.

“It didn’t take us long to realise that we were capable of lasting the distance, though I do admit I was surprised we finished unbeaten. The Italian league is very difficult.”

The 25-year-old star also spoke about the Bianconeri’s chances winning more trophies this year.

“I think that the players we’ve brought in this summer make us stronger than we were last season, so we’re capable of defending the title and having a good Champions League campaign.

“Let me correct myself, at a club like Juventus you have to aim to win every competition.”

Juventus are currently tied at the top of the table with Napoli with 19 points apiece.
