Jose Mourinho has set his sight on signing some new midfielders next summer as the Red Devils face a mass exodus of their midfield players.
Marouane Fellaini, and Ander Herrera are looking to change clubs while Michael Carrick is retiring at the end of the season. These departures would leave Mourinho with a very thin midfield and the Portuguese boss wants to do something about that.
According to Sun Sport, Mourinho is prepared to pay £52.5million for Bayern Munich’s midfielder, Arturo Vidal.
Vidal is a target of many Premier League teams and he is likely going to leave the Bavarians at the end of the season, as the Germans have already completed the capture of Leon Goretzka whom they expected to start playing immediately.
Vidal is only one of a few midfielders that are attracting the attention of Jose Mourinho, with Fabiano of Monaco and Fred of Shakhtar Donetsk firmly in his sight also.
Despite being 30 years of age already, Vidal who joined Bayern for £32million in the summer of 2015 would not be allowed to leave on a cheap, but Mourinho is prepared to pay as much as they want to get his man.
