Bayern Munich Chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is keen to sign Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal, according to SkySports.
The Chilean has been linked with a move away from the Serie A Champions this summer. Premier League side Arsenal have been in strong links with him but with the recent reports claim that the German giants are also keeping tabs on him.
Vidal netted seven goals and assisted four times in 28 appearances in the Serie A last term.
The Champions League silver medalist of last season Vidal is now expected to move to the German giants as The Guardian revealed that the Bundesliga Champions are preparing a bid around £28million for him.
Vidal who also lifted the Copa America earlier this month would be welcomed as Bastian Schweinsteiger’s replacement. The German recently join Manchester United after serving Bayern for 17 years.
Rummenigge told German media that he is hoping to sign Vidal.
“I hope that Arturo Vidal will join us in the end.”
Reports further revealed that the Italian side are also trying to sign Mario Gotze from Bayern, however Rummenigge has clearly said that the German attacker would not be included in this deal.
Meanwhile, Vidal has said in the past that he is keen to move as he is not happy in Turin despite of winning trophies and reaching the Champions League final last season.
