United still eye Vidal, but…

Manchester United are reported once more as prepared to bid for Juventus’ Arturo Vidal, but under certain conditions only.

The Red Devils have been continually linked with interest in the Chile international throughout the summer and today are listed once more by The Independent as prepared to test Juve’s resolve in the final week of the transfer window.

However, the British publication also suggests that there will be caveats to any deal to be reached for and with the 27-year-old, borne out of concern over the condition of his knee following surgery on a meniscus injury in May.

United’s worry over Vidal’s condition reportedly has them still unwilling to reach the Old Lady’s asking price of €40m.

It is also believed that the English club would require that any deal signed with Vidal will include ‘complex, appearance-based’ clauses, to take into account the risks they perceive relating to his knee.
