Inter are so determined to get Arturo Vidal from Barcelona that they are separating him out from the Lautaro Martinez talks, claim sources in Italy and Spain.
Antonio Conte has never hidden his desire to reunite with former Juventus midfielder Vidal at San Siro, so the Chilean naturally became the first choice when discussing swap deals.
However, Mundo Deportivo and Tuttosport both claim today that Vidal is considered too important a target to tie him in with the Lautaro Martinez negotiations.

However, Mundo Deportivo and Tuttosport both claim today that Vidal is considered too important a target to tie him in with the Lautaro Martinez negotiations.
His contract is due to expire in June 2021 and he’ll turn 33 later this month, so the cost of the operation should be around €10-15m.
Barcelona are also well aware that Vidal is determined to make the move and might feel pushed into a corner, with the risk of losing him for free next summer.
Inter had tried to sign Vidal last year and again in January, but could not reach an agreement with his club.
