Marotta: "Arturo Vidal will sign for five years with Bayern"

With the door wide open at Juventus , the signing of Arturo Vidal at Bayern Munich is a matter of hours and one who is happy with his arrival is Jupp Heynckes, who emphasized the contribution that the Chilean will make to the Bavarian team's play.

"Vidal will maintain balance in Bayern's midfield, because the team has many offensive midfielders," said Heynckes, who coached Bayern until 2013, the year they won the Bundesliga, the German Cup, and the Champions League.

The coach, who coached 'King Arturo' at Bayer Leverkusen and requested him for Bayern in 2011, praised the characteristics of the Chilean, which will allow him to make a difference in Guardiola's team.

"He is one of the best players in the world, there are not many players with his quality. He is an excellent ball recoverer, he is not afraid of the battle in the middle of the field and he also plays football very well," said the 70-year-old German coach.

Heynckes also made it clear that it is easy to deal with Vidal off the field. "His character is not difficult. What happened recently was an accident. Arturo is a big kid," he concluded.
