Barcelona midfielder Vidal blasts ex-player pundits: They're stuck in past

Arturo Vidal insists he wants to stay with Barcelona next season.

The midfielder has been linked with a return to Italy at Inter Milan.

Vidal said, "I have one year left on my contract and with everything that has happened, at this moment I feel important, I am very fond of the team, I have very good friends and I hope to finish my contract.

"I want to win the Champions League if God wants and next year go for the treble.

"Yes, yes, if God wants, I will continue here."

On critics claiming Vidal's style doesn't suit Barca, he added: "If they criticise like that, they don't know football. Football is changing, there is a DNA here, for many years, but football is evolving and changing. Players who speak, I think have stayed in the past."
