Allegri says Arturo Vidal will remain with Juventus: 'He is very happy to stay'

Juventus have once again moved to quell the rampant speculation surrounding the future of star midfielder Arturo Vidal, with manager Massimiliano Allegri the latest to declare that the Chilean will remain with the club this season.

Vidal, who has been the subject of both English and Chilean reports linking him with a move to Manchester United throughout the summer - despite Juventus' insistence that he will not be sold - is happy to remain with the three-time defending Serie A champions, according to Allegri.

Allegri made the comments when speaking with a collection of the Italian media ahead of a press conference on Tuesday, and in doing so will likely put Juventus supporters who have been sweating the future of the midfielder at ease.

That said, Tuesday saw a separate report emanating from Chilean newspaper El Mercurio that Vidal and Manchester United have agreed to personal terms ahead of a transfer that will be worth £47 million.

Until the 27-year-old is pictured wearing the black and white kit in Juventus' opening match of the season against Chievo on Aug. 31, the rumors show no signs of slowing down - regardless of how unfounded they may be.
