Bigon: Vidal should be Napoli player

Napoli chief Riccardo Bigon has spoken of missing out on Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal.

Bigon admits Vidal came close to signing for Napoli before his move to Juve.

He said: "The other regret is Vidal. I had moved early on him, meeting his agent during Bologna-Napoli and in secret visiting Leverkusen to talk with Bayer.

"I still have the fax with their demands. If the player hadn't left for the Copa America, I probably would've won that race with Juventus."
