Good news for Chelsea as Bayern Munich give permission to Arturo Vidal to speak with Conte’s team

Bayern Munich have reportedly informed Premier League Champions Chelsea about the availability of Arturo Vidal next summer.

Chelsea have been watching the Chilean closely, with Italian tactician Antonio Conte being a huge fan.

It is now believed that the German side would be ready to let him leave should a suitor meet his valuation, as per German football publication Kicker.

German Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich have expressed their dissatisfaction over the Chilean’s level of performance this season.

The side’s hierarchy are unhappy and are unsure that the midfield maestro is capable of regaining his form.

The Bundesliga giants are therefore prepared to permit the Chilean departure, with a few number of sides poised to sign him up.

Bayern are not willing to let the midfielder leave in the January transfer window, though, with doubts surrounding former Real Madrid star James Rodriguez.

One only major stumbling block, however, looks to be Bayern Munich’s £50million valuation of the 30-year-old Chilean.

Reports suggest Bayern Munich are willing to let the Premier League Champions have the midfield maestro if they are ready to match his valuation.

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte wants to reunite with Vidal at Stamford Bridge.

The Chilean only recently retired from his national team after they failed to qualify for next summers FIFA World Cup in Russia.
