Bayern close to signing Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal

Bayern Munich are closing in on the signing of Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal from Juventus after the Italian Champions League finalists reportedly received a whopping offer of 28million pounds for the player.

The 28-year-old played a vital role in helping Chile lift their maiden Copa America title this summer and is considered as one of the most sought-after players in Europe, the Guardian reported.

Vidal, who has scored 35 goals in his 124 appearances for Juventus, also played a huge role in steering the Serie A champions to the Champions League final, which they lost to Barcelona.
