Antonio Conte of Inter Milan is eager on signing Vidal as the Italian continues to rebuild Inter into a dominant European powerhouse.
With two departures from the midfield department, Ronald Koeman would certainly require reinforcements.
It is rumoured that the Dutchman wanted to sign either Donny van de Beek or Gini Wijnaldum, however, the former has already agreed to terms with Manchester United and is expected to have his medicals soon.
Gini Wijnaldum remains the primary target for Koeman. The Dutch manager wants the Liverpool man to the engine in midfield trio that would see him partner with Frenkie de Jong and Sergio Busquets.
However, to sign Gini from Anfield, former Barca midfielder Thiago Alcantara has a huge role. The Bayern Munich midfielder has been linked with a move to Liverpool.
Bayern has set 30 million euros as the price tag for the midfielder. If Liverpool met the price tag and sign the Spanish midfielder then Jurgen Klopp will permit Gini Wijnaldum to leave for Camp Nou. Barca’s fate to sign Wijnaldum lies in the hands of Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.
Do you believe that the addition of Gini Wijnaldum would prove to be fundamental?
