LONDON. — Manchester United have made a club record £47.5m bid for top target Arturo Vidal.
New United boss Louis Van Gaal is determined to make the Juventus midfielder his marquee signing of the summer.
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport claim United are willing to smash their previous transfer record to lure Vidal to Old Trafford.
It is understood that United have offered Juventus a whopping £47.5m to part with the Chile World Cup star.

United are also willing to double the 27-year-old’s current salary, by offering him a bumper four-year £120 000-a-week deal.
Vidal’s representative, Fernando Felicevich, was expected to hold crunch talks with Juventus yesterday and, according to the report, will demand they match United’s offer or let his client leave.

If Juventus decide to accept United’s offer, it would smash the club’s previous transfer record set by Juan Mata’s £37.1m switch from Chelsea in January. — Dailystar.
