Arturo Vidal seals Flamengo free transfer on 18-month deal as 35-year-old snubs Boca Juniors after leaving Inter Milan
ARTURO VIDAL has snubbed Boca Juniors for Flamengo after leaving Inter Milan on a free transfer.
The 133-cap Chile midfielder, 35, chose the Brazilian giants over the famous Argentine club on an 18-month deal.
Former Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus star Vidal was linked with Tottenham earlier this summer.
But he could face disciplinary action from Inter after revealing in an interview earlier this year he wanted to join Flamengo.
Arsenal legend Alexis Sanchez is expected to follow him out of the Serie A title hopefuls.
But the 33-year-old might struggle for a high-profile move after two disappointing years in Italy since departing Manchester United.
