Arturo Vidal: Being happy at Juventus is more important than being rich at Manchester United
Chile and Juventus’ midfield mainstay Arturo Vidal has cleared the air over all the hoopla that surrounded him during the transfer window. His future was the subject of intense speculation, with Manchester United the club linked the most with his signature.
He said, “The truth is I was relaxed and calm this summer, focusing only on my knee. I never once asked my agent or Juventus if something was happening. I have a pact with my agent: if there is something concrete, then he alerts me. He did not alert me. I don’t know exactly what happened during the summer, but I doubt it was anything truly important, otherwise he would’ve warned me.”
When asked as to what would his response have been if Manchester United had made a bid for his services, he replied, “I really don’t know... I can only say that I am happy in Turin. I am happy, my wife loves Turin, Alonsito and the little one are happy here.
My family’s happiness is more important than money or anything else. At Juventus I am happy, it is my home. It’s always tough to leave your home, isn’t it?”
