Man Utd to make final bid for Juventus midfielder Vidal

Manchester United are ready to make a final bid for Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal.Tuttosport says business could be done in Monte Carlo today, where Europe's heavyweights are gathered for the Champions League group draw.

Present in Monaco will be Juventus GM Beppe Marotta, while United will also have a delegation.

United, which have already struck personal terms with Vidal over a five-year contract, will offer €40 million cash plus striker Javier Hernandez in exchange for Vidal.

Juve are reluctant to part with the Chile international so close to the transfer deadline, though they do have a back up plan should they decide to sell.

The Bianconeri will revive January's failed deal for Inter Milan midfielder Fredy Guarin, who would arrive as a direct replacement for Vidal.
