Juventus tell Manchester United €40 million is needed to sign midfielder

Manchester United have been told that they will have to make a bid of at least €40 million if they are to sign Bianconeri midfielder Arturo Vidal.

The Red Devils are known admirers of the Chilean and have registered serious interest in the player as they look to bounce back from a disappointing 2013/14 season.

La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Juventus are demanding that Louis van Gaal’s side meet their valuation of €40m for the 27-year-old or talks over a possible move will not begin.

The Bianconeri signed Vidal from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen three years ago and under Antonio Conte the tenacious midfielder has become one of the best in the world.
