Arturo Vidal: "I am happy in Turin"

Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal dismisses reports linking him with a move to England.

Long-time Manchester United target Arturo Vidal has insisted that he is happy to stay in Italy, and dismissed speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League.

The 27-year-old Juventus midfielder, who was rumoured to be close to a move to Old Trafford over the summer, has hinted that no offer from Louis van Gaal's side ever materialised.

"The truth is I was relaxed and calm this summer, focusing only on my knee. I never once asked my agent or Juventus if something was happening," Vidal told Tuttosport.

"I have a pact with my agent: if there is something concrete, then he alerts me. He did not alert me. I don't know exactly what happened during the summer, but I doubt it was anything truly important, otherwise he would have warned me.

"I can only say that I am happy in Turin. I am happy, my wife loves Turin, Alonsito and the little one are happy here. My family's happiness is more important than money or anything else. At Juventus I am happy, it is my home. It's always tough to leave your home, isn't it?"

Reigning Serie A champions Juventus face Roma on Sunday in a clash between this season's top two sides.
