Inter made the signing of Chilean Arturo Vidal official for an unusual figure. The Italian team transferred it for just € 1 million and it became one of the most unusual transfers in the history of Barcelona. It is that Vidal had reached the Spanish team in a figure close to € 20 million, so its almost free sale is configured as a great failure in management.

Arturo Vidal still had one year left on his contract, but after coach Ronald Koeman informed him that he did not have him for his project, both parties reached an agreement to rescind the commitment and head to Inter. The operation, which many considered a "super offer", involves a financial and sports business for Barcelona, who gave up taking more cut in the sale to ensure a decrease in the wage bill and generate more space in the center of the field , congested area of names in the template.

The Chilean had a token of around € 8.5 million per year, money that the Barça team will save in a context of economic crisis, product of the coronavirus.The departure of former Juventus, added to that of Ivan Rakitic, considerably freed up a place in the midfield, a position for which Frenkie De Jong, Sergio Busquets, Carles Aleñá, Miralem Pjanic, Riqui Puig and Philippe Coutinho are fighting.
