Chilean reports say the Nike sponsored midfielder has his ‘bags ready to leave’ Inter and Antonio Conte has personally made contact over a move to Spurs.
The Chilean’s intention is thought to be to move to England for the first time in his career, and a fresh report has now added more fuel to that fire.
The Latest: Italian update
A report from Inter Live, relayed by Sports Witness, claims that the 34-year-old is tempted over a move to Tottenham specifically to reunite with Conte.
They add that a move away from Inter Milan for Vidal this summer is a certainty, despite the Serie A giants having the option to extend his deal by a further 12 months.
The Verdict: Avoid?
Vidal appears to be in the twilight stages of his career, starting just one Serie A game all season.
He does have plenty of top-level experience in Italy, Germany and Spain, however, his lack of game time over the last 12 months could make him a risky signing by Spurs ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
The club bolstered their midfield ranks by bringing in Rodrigo Bentancur last month from Juventus, and although Vidal can play in a variety of central roles, they could be better off looking elsewhere and planning for the long term instead of bringing in the ageing South American.
