'TuttoSport' says that Barca's Arturo Vidal will join Inter on a two year deal with an option of a third and earn six million euros a year. It is not known whether the extra season is based on variables or simply whether he and the board want to extend it.

Arturo Vidal is continuing with his move to Milan to become an Inter player. 'TuttoSport' says that it will be a two year contract with the option of a third. It could be official in a matter of days

The Chilean will earn around six million euros a year at Inter. He will become of the best paid players in the squad because he will become one of the men chosen by Conte to try and break Juventus' dominance. He will have a very good chance of becoming a starter. 

The only thing left as has been reported in several media outlet is for his contractual situation to be resolved in the Catalan capital. What Inter are hoping for is for him to not ask for the rest of the salary he is owed at Barcelona. 

That is the only way he will be able to move for free. That said, a paper has also said that the move could be completed for a token value. 

The problem: Arturo wants to get paid his salary

The only problem with this operation, according to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', is that Arturo Vidal wants Barca to pay him the money he is owed from the year which he still has left on his contract. That is the only way he will accept a move to Inter. 

The board, led by Josep Maria Bartomeu, understand that, since he wants to leave without any issues, the easiest is for him to not ask for those six million euros. That is exactly what he will earn in a year in Italy and that way, he could leave for nothing.
