Arturo Vidal has another year of contract left with the Nerazzurri but Inter will probably sell him in the summer. Since Suning have to raise around €80 million through player sales. On the other hand, they will also cut 15-20% of the wages. Arturo came to Inter in September 2020. However, he did not have the best year at the club. Conte and Vidal were a part of Juventus together. And Conte has his favorites. Thus, he insisted on getting Vidal to Inter. He made 23 appearances, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists in Serie A. Inter paid €1 million for his transfer from Barcelona.
