ARTURO VIDAL HAS put pen to paper on a four-year deal with Bayern Munich and could make his debut for the club as early as this weekend.

According to reports in the German media, the 28-year-old will reportedly earn 10 million euro per year.

The transfer fee wasn’t disclosed but could be as much as 37 million euro.

The move marks a return to the Bundesliga for the Chilean midfielder who spent four years with Bayer Leverkusen before signing for Juventus in 2011.

At the time, Bayern wanted to sign him though Vidal ended up in Turin where he subsequently won four straight Serie A titles, a Coppa Italia and finished as a Champions League runners-up in May.

Earlier this summer he was part of the Chile team that triumphed at the Copa America though Vidal’s tournament was overshadowed by an incident in which he crashed his Ferrari while under the influence of alcohol and suffered minor injuries.

Bayern have moved quickly and efficiently to deal with the departure of local hero Bastian Schweinsteiger who signed for Manchester United earlier this summer.
