When everyone is awaiting the Chilean's departure from Barca to the Serie A, from the Premier League another team has burst on to the scene. Manchester United have also now made a formal offer for him.
They have made a bid of 20 million euros, a higher sum to what Inter Milan are willing to offer.
All of this because Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer finds himself short in midfield due to the injuries of Pogba and McTominay. He would need someone to arrive and perform immediately, a profile that Arturo Vidal fits.
Although Barcelona seem to be sure that they won't let him leave in the winter market, it remains to be seen if United's interest could change things.
At Inter, meanwhile, they are now starting to accept the impossibility of his arrival, they are fully focussed on recovering Sensi's best version.
