Arturo Vidal has signed for Inter after a two-year spell at Barcelona, during which he won one La Liga title and one Copa del Rey. The switch to San Siro reunites him with Antonio Conte, who previously coached him at Juventus, where he won four straight Serie A crowns.

Inter Milan have confirmed that they have signed Arturo Vidal from Barcelona on a permanent basis, bringing to an end the Chilean's two-year stay at Camp Nou.
The midfielder has spent the last two years at Camp Nou, winning one La Liga title and one Copa del Rey but, at the age of 33, was deemed to be surplus to requirement as Barca look to rebuild.
And his former coach Antonio Conte, who managed him to great success at Juventus, has moved to lure him to San Siro for a fee of just €1 million.
