At the end of last week, the Brazilian giant sent him a formal offer at the wheel. An 18-month contract and an annual salary of US$4 million, plus incentives for winning the Brasileirao and the Libertadores. On the other side was Boca Juniors, where vice-president Juan Román Riquelme expressly called the king for his services. Of course, the figures were very far from those proposed by the cariocas.
Arturo Vidal he’s on holiday. After a long season in Europe, the Chilean midfielder is in Santiago to share with his family and friends. While his future is being managed thousands of miles from Santiago, with two of South America’s most important teams battling for his services.
At this crossroads brazilian flamingo took the lead to get the San Joaquin native. At the end of last week, the player’s representatives received a formal offer for the Chilean, who -in principle- would sign for 18 months with the most popular team in Brazilian football.
As he was able to discover Jock the Brazilians did an offer closer to the reality he experienced at Inter Milan until last season. The Rio de Janeiro giant has put 4 million dollars a year on the table and, above all, excluding taxes.
But not only. In addition, Rubronegro promised to pay the athlete significant sums for incentives, in case the team wins the Copa Libertadores and/or the Brasileirao.
In summary, Vidal could increase his earnings to $5m in the best of scenarios, a sum very close to the 7 paid to him by Inter, a club which will have to compensate for his departure with 4.5 million dollars. The same that he must cancel after June 30, since the Italian club has not yet confirmed his departure.
“Arturo Vidal is very attracted to the idea of playing for Flamengo. Besides the sporting project, Brazilian football is one of the goals he has before the end of his career. Win the Copa Libertadores and It’s one of his dreams and together with the Rio de Janeiro team he could make it come true.” said someone close to the player.
The truth is, the possibility has been brewing for months. When Mengao came to play for UC on April 28, a first meeting was scheduled between representative Fernando Felicevich and the main leaders of the Fla market: vice-president of football Marcos Braz and executive director Bruno Spindel.

Mengao’s attack has a lasting reason: the obvious interest of Boca Juniors from Argentina. The player was one of the persons targeted by the vice-president of the club, the legendary Juan Román Riquelme.
“Vidal was born to play for this club, from there being able to pay him is something else. Cavani was born to play here. If they agree? I listen to a lot of things, they tell me, we are happy with the players we have. They are star players, of the high level, we dream of having them, but from there that it is a reality, it is complicated”, Said Román, president of the football council, a few weeks ago.
What is certain is that the player’s representatives were in Buenos Aires a few days ago. The idea was to know in the words of the leaders themselves about the intentions to sign the Chilean super class.
as discovered Jock the argentinian cast offered a maximum salary of 2 million dollars in a three-year contract, a budget more adjusted to the reality of the club and in a country that manages inflation that exceeds 30% over the first six months of the year.
Precisely, this is one of the salary conditions offered to Vidal. A fixed dollar, with no market fluctuations, in a country where the official exchange rate is 130 Argentine pesos to the dollar, and blue (informal) trades at over 250 pesos on the street.
Despite this, the xeneizes technician, Sebastien Battaglia He does not lose hope of having a signing that would be top for the Argentine league. This was also the case on Friday, after the 3-0 defeat against Banfield.
“They informed me that there were negotiations with him, but I did not have the opportunity to speak . If all goes well and progresses, then We know what kind of player he is and what he means for Argentine football.” explained the former midfielder, without giving up hope of winning the arm wrestling match against the Cariocas, even if it looks complicated
Well, what if it’s for money, the offer of Al Rayyan from Qatar far exceeded the options in South America. Same as interest United StatesInterMiami . However, today the player’s motivations seem different.
