Serie A side Inter Milan keen on January swoop for Bayern Munich’s star midfielder Arturo Vidal

INTER MILAN will look to lure Bayern Munich star Arturo Vidal to Serie A in January, according to reports in Italy.

The 30-year-old was the subject of a £44million bid from the Nerazzurri in the summer, and they will once again attempt to prise him away from the Bundesliga.

According to , Inter boss Luciano Spalletti will target the Chilean ace in the winter transfer window to boost their efforts of winning the Scudetto.

However, it is has been reported that the 2009/10 Champions League winners will have to sell a “big” player in order to be able to bring Vidal to the San Siro.

Bayern are re-adjusting to life under Jupp Heynckes following the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti, and could part ways with the ex-Bayer Leverkusen maestro.

This could leave Vidal moving back to Serie A – where he enjoyed four hugely successful seasons with Juventus – helping them to four consecutive top-flight titles.

He has found game time hard to come in recent – a 23-minute cameo against Celtic in a 3-0 win on Wednesday evening was his first appearance in almost a month.

Vidal played no part in the Bundesliga matches against Hertha Berlin and Freiburg, as his place in the starting XI is under question.

SunSport revealed earlier this month that Inter are lining up an audacious swoop for the two-time Copa America champion in January.

Back in the summer, Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge issued a hands-warning to all clubs vying for his signature.

Vidal has featured nine times for the Bavarian club this campaign – netting once as they sit second in the table behind Borussia Dortmund.

The midfielder has appeared to have retired from international football following Chile’s failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
