Arturo Vidal Signs for Barcelona

Arturo Vidal will be presented as a new Barcelona player in front of the media on Monday.

The Chilean had his photo taken on Sunday at the Barcelona shop by the Camp Nou and he will sign a contract with the Catalans at 12.30am local time on Monday, before his media commitments begin.

The presentation will not be open to the public as with the other signings this summer due to work being carried out at the stadium.

Ernesto Valverde expects “warrior” Arturo Vidal to offer something different in Barcelona’s midfield as the Chile international finalises a transfer from Bayern Munich.

Vidal is expected to be confirmed as a Barca player upon the successful completion of a medical after a deal was agreed between the two clubs.

At 31, the former Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus star is approaching the latter stages of his career.
