Juventus re-iterate desire to hold onto Man Utd target Vidal

Juventus director Giuseppe Marotta has again made it clear that the club plans to retain Arturo Vidal.

The Chilean midfielder remains a strong target for Manchester United but after signing him to a new deal recently, the Bianconeri are confident he will stay in Turin for the foreseeable future.

"We recently renewed his contract because we knew that we could count on an important element," Marotta told Sky Italia.

"He has not taken any different position to what he thought before.

"Transfer gossip is normal on one of the best players in circulation. We have never activated a plan to sell the player.

"In football you can never say, but if the player wants to stay we will be happy to keep him."
