Vidal agent arrives in England on Sunday, Manchester United move gets decisive day
Calciomercato in Italy have gone all Miss Marple to try and work out if we'll all get a sign on the Arturo Vidal saga on Sunday. It's a transfer rumour which has gone on for far too long, even if it's not at the Wesley Sneijder level yet. Manchester United fans are used to many of their transfer sagas ending up negatively.
There's been Sneijder, Kevin Strootman, Thiago Alcantara and Cesc Fabregas over the last couple of years and not one has ended up with a purchase. Ander Herrera is the exception but even he had to go through one failure of a summer move before finally getting his transfer a year later.
Manchester United fans, scared by the above and other sagas, aren't too convinced Vidal is actually going to happen. Indeed, many in the British media have stated there's not even too much interest from Old Trafford in signing the Chilean midfielder.
The truth is, very few people actually know the truth. Perhaps nobody. Juventus may not even be sure what bid they'd be happy to accept until an offer is actually made and the Italian media have stated so many different numbers as the asking price that it's clear they're not sure of anything.
Calciomercato say that Vidal's agent Fernando Felicevich is due in England on Sunday to watch the Community Shield and another of his clients, Alexis Sanchez. Some reports in Chile, say Calciomercato, reckon that Felicevich will then return to South America and, if so, that any transfer couldn't be done until the end of August.
No doubt the Chilean and Italian media will be keeping a close eye on Felicevich's movements on Sunday to see if he pops up to Manchester, flies over to Turin, or goes to South America leaving everything up in the air.

The transfer rumour mill has got to that stage of the summer when it starts to eat itself. If you were in any doubt about how scrambled it has become then grab yourself a cup of coffee, perhaps a choccy biscuit, and read the following. MOURINHO BACK FOR BENATIA
Chelsea have been linked with a move for a new centre back all summer and for some time it looked like Miranda would be on his way from Atletico Madrid. The Brazilian defender would have been one of several players making the move from the Spanish champions to Stamford Bridge this summer but the clubs haven't been able to agree on anything.JUVE WANT VIDAL DEAL DONE IN A FEW DAYS
Turin newspaper La Stampa caused quite a stir on Thursday when they claimed Arturo Vidal had agreed wages with Manchester United. That was just the taster of their story online, the newspaper version had much more including a claim that Vidal had told teammates he fancies the move.
