Arturo Vidal has not trained with his Barcelona teammates this morning, according to the Catalan media. Is that its transfer to Inter de Milan It is closed and will be made official in the next few hours.
According to reports, the Chilean midfielder appeared at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper to say goodbye to the Barça squad, the team officials and remove his belongings, in what marks his last day as a Barça player.
The future is completely sealed. In the afternoon, Vidal will board a private flight from Barcelona to Milan, which will allow him to finish the day in Italy while waiting for the last fringes to make his transfer official.
The amounts of the operation have also transcended. King renounces part of the contract that remained in Barcelona -until 2021- and Inter will pay the Catalan team a symbolic sum set at 500 thousand euros.
In this way, the operation that two weeks ago allowed the transfer of Iván Rakitic to Sevilla is repeated in formal terms, a formula that he also applied for the purchase of the Alexis Sánchez pass by the same Nerazzurri cast.

Why the delay of Vidal
A second version, published by La Gazzetta dello Sport, explains the delay in ratifying the agreement by Arturo Vidal with two reasons: the excess of interista players and the post-coronavirus balance.
In the next few hours four players are expected to leave Inter, in a group led by Diego Godín and also made up of Andrea Ranocchia, Dalbert and Joao Mario. This will allow Antonio Conte to reduce his contingent, which today exceeds 30 elements.
In addition, it will allow to release the coffers of the interista cadre, compromised product of the pandemic. Vidal will have an annual income of more than 6 million euros, so Inter prefers to release the squad from some payments before confirming King.
In any case, The projection indicates that the Chilean will arrive this afternoon (noon in Chile) in Milan to become a new Nerazzurri player and prop up the dream of the Lombard fans to return to the big fight in Europe and threaten the power of Juventus.
