Ancelotti dismisses Vidal - Chelsea rumours as 'rubbish'
“The rumours are absolutely garbage” he told journalists at a press conference (via the Daily Mirror) today.
Vidal was rumoured by the Sun to have held talks with former Coach Antonio Conte, who had managed him for several years at Juventus.
The recent Copa America champion fanned the flames when he iked a link which connected him to the Blues on Instagram.
The Sun’s reports had the Bundesliga champions asking for at least £40 million for their man, and Chelsea only willing to offer as much as £34m.
The 29-year-old has scored six Bundesliga goals since joining the Bavarian side last summer, but has occasionally flattered to deceive, and failed to live up to the hype.
Vidal had managed 35 goals in four Serie A seasons before then, helping Juventus to four straight titles. Three of those he won with Antonio Conte at the helm.
