'We'll see'- Barcelona star Vidal keeps fans guessing about Inter move

Arturo Vidal stated in October that he was not happy to be a back-up to Ernesto Valverde's Barcelona first team and would have to assess his options if his role did not change.

Arturo Vidal insists he is "calm and happy" about his Barcelona future despite refusing to rule out a possible move to Inter in the transfer window.

The midfielder stated in October that he was not happy to be a back-up to Ernesto Valverde's first team and would have to assess his options if his role did not change.

Vidal reportedly stormed out of training after being told he would not be in the first XI for the Clasico on December 18, although he then marked only his fourth LaLiga start of the season against Deportivo Alaves on Saturday with a goal.

Inter is said to be interested in a January deal for the 32-year-old, which previously enjoyed huge success under Antonio Conte at Juventus, but he is not prepared to rush into any decision.

Speaking after leaving for his native Chile for a short Christmas break, Vidal told reporters about a possible Inter deal: "My representative is who has to see that, but I'm calm and happy at Barcelona. When I return, we'll see. Now I want to be with my family, and after that return and take a decision.

"I'm not the one who makes the decision to play or not – that's the coach. But people see that, so that makes me calm, and I'll continue taking advantage of all my opportunities and continue scoring, which is what I like to do.

"I hope to lift the trophies that lie ahead of us at the end of the season."

Vidal has only started six games in all competitions for Barca in 2019-20, with Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong, Arthur and recently Ivan Rakitic preferred in central midfield.

Rakitic's future is also in doubt, but Barca will reportedly only sell a midfielder if a significant offer is made and the player requests a move.

Barca's next game is a league trip to city rival Espanyol on January 4, before the newly expanded Supercopa de Espana begins with a semifinal against Atletico Madrid on January 9.
