The exodus of veteran players continues at Barcelona, with Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal being the latest to join the list. Vidal’s next destination will be Italy, where he will join Seria A side Inter Milan.

Inter confirmed Vidal’s arrival on their social media on Sunday, although the club didn’t disclose any further details about the move. Reportedly, they will pay around $1.2 million, plus add-ons, for the 33-year-old midfielder’s services.

Inter was interested in Vidal for some time now, with manager Antonio Conte making a strong push to sign the player last summer. The duo previously worked together at Juventus, winning three Seria A titles together.

Vidal decided to stay at Camp Nou at first but changed his mind this summer after being identified unnecessary by Barcelona’s new head coach Ronald Koeman.

Barca’s star Lionel Messi already said his farewell to Vidal, posting a touching message on social media.

“We shared many things in the last two years, and you made a huge impact on the dressing room and will be dearly missed.” – said Messi. “I wish you all the best luck in your new club, and I’m sure our paths will cross again.”

Arturo Vidal joined Barcelona in the summer of 2018, originally being considered as a depth piece. However, Vidal quickly became indispensable in the club’s midfield and ended up making 96 appearances in just two seasons. He helped the team win the La Liga title in 2018/19.

“On behalf of everyone at Bayern, I’d like to thank Arturo very much for three fantastic years,” – said Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in a statement. “We won a lot of silverware in that time, and Arturo played a major role in those wins. He was a leader, also in the big game. We could always rely on him.”

Arturo Vidal joined Bayern Munich in 2015 from Juventus in a transfer worth around $46 million. He enjoyed a successful run with the club, winning three Bundesliga titles and scoring 22 goals during his time in Germany. Given the fact that Vidal’s contract is about to expire, Bayern was shopping the 31-year-old in the past weeks with the Inter Milan and Chelsea also being some of the contenders for his signature.

According to several Spanish media outlets, Barcelona paid close to $30 million for Vidal services. The club was in need of a midfielder reinforcement since both Andrea Iniesta, and Paulinho left the club after the last season. Some of the options were Paris Saint-Germain’s Adrien Rabiot and Ajax’ Frenkie de Jong, but Barca decided to go with more experience player in Vidal.
