Inter are expected to pay €500,000 plus bonuses for the midfield veteran.

“The negotiations for the farewell of Arturo Vidal are at an advanced stage," Planes said at Miralem Pjanic's presentation press conference.

“I take this opportunity to thank him for these two years. He's a player with a big heart.
