Chelsea are latest club to be linked with Chile international
Chile international Arturo Vidal insists he would only leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer with the blessing of the Bundesliga club.
Chelsea are the latest side to be linked with a move for the midfield star, with manager Andre Villas-Boas admitting he has other targets in mind in case their move for Luka Modric fails.
Arsenal were reported to be considering a bid for Vidal, while Serie A duo Juventus and Napoli have also been credited with an interest.
Leverkusen insist they will not sell to a Bundesliga rival, with Bayern Munich known to be keen, and will not lower their valuation should any team from outside Germany make an official approach.
Perfect solution
The former Colo-Colo player insists he is more than happy at the BayArena and would only depart if a deal can be reached which suits all parties.
Vidal told
Kicker: "I do not have any problem playing on for Bayer Leverkusen. I am able to see out my current contract and play UEFA Champions League football with Bayer in the new season.
"However, should any move take place I would only do it if every party involved would be able to leave the negotiating table with a smile on their face.
"I am very thankful Bayer Leverkusen handed me the chance to make a career in Europe, this is why I am longing for a perfect solution."
